Just Iggy and I, we travelled towards the Martinez home, where we knew Dr. Martinez and Ella and Jeb were waiting for us.

Dr. Martinez had even promised cookies.

A storm blew through, all lightning and hail, and we couldn't fly. So we stayed in a small town, not unlike the one we used to visit from the E-house with Jeb. It seemed everyone knew everyone, that everyone wore a happy smile.

I couldn't remember how to smile.

But me and Iggy ate in silent company, and I was as content as I had been in a very long time.
