Indigo Guides the Way

So it was with mild and momentary disappointment that Amir arrived at Wompatuck State Park to discover that Declan would not be there that day. “He’s not feeling well,” Jae explained. “I almost stayed home with him, but I’ve really been looking forward to this and he knows that, so he said I could still come. I’ll check in with him when we take breaks though, if that’s okay.”


“That’s fine,” Tori said. “Let him know we’re sorry he couldn’t be here and we hope he feels better.”
