I reached down between my knees and brought the phone up into the sunlight.

Rory’s full name flashed in bright yellow letters across the top of the black screen.

I swiped the green button and lifted the phone to my ear.

“Jodi, did you see what my mother just put on the internet?” Rory shouted before I could even say hello.

His voice came through so thin and loud that it filled the whole front seat of the Buick without my ever touching the speaker button.

“I’m in the car right now, Rory,” I said, keeping my voice low and even.
