             “I’ll hide this for you,” he said. “You’ll

             left it somewhere and when you went


             back someone had taken it.”

             Gary nodded. That might work.

             when Lauren arrives? I thought you


             two hated each other.”

             (one of Josie and Tom’s foster kids)

             really hard to like her. But he had

             agreed to be there to say hello when

                                                                  31
