Chapter 24: Nora

“What else did the article say?” I asked desperately. It was like hearing a great hero’s life story. “The plane that went down was a small trial plane that a foreign airport was trying out for the first time and didn’t tell anyone. The details were withheld because of the lawsuit and it was part of the settlement agreement that Harvey’s dad’s lawyer fought for. The airline is now shut down because of having to pay out on the suit so all the information was made public. Two other people died in the crash as well and their families were paid off too.”

Our food arrived and steam billowed in front of my face. I ate in silence trying to compress the information I just heard into a brain digestible chunk. I felt really bad knowing this information about him. It made me feel like I had a secret that I was never supposed to know. I felt even weirder knowing that Miranda knew it.
