Résumé
"I can't believe this rain," you say, still shaking it from your hair. You left your raincoat and your snow boots—because you're fourteen and your father makes you wear snow boots in the rain when you're riding your bike to Riley's house—in a heap by the front door. "Stupid February."
"Well, at least you made it," Riley says. She's sitting in an old padded folding chair.
"Yeah, it's good to be here," you say, like you're a contestant on a game show or something. You look around the room that Riley's family used to call the Office. With its things now mostly packed into boxes, the room looks more like the small spare bedroom it always was. You haven't been over since she told you a month ago that she was moving to some small town in Wisconsin. But Riley is here, and the computer is here, and that's what matters for now. "Have you played the game yet?"
