Everest
'She held my hand.' Ever adds gravely, swallowing hard and not wanting to talk any more about Paige than was necessary.
Frowning, the boy's coming at this problem from very different angles, Ever tilts his head all the more. "Don't you like school?" He wonders, absolutely being the sort who would be a lifetime student if such a thing were possible. "Travel?" Ever repeats, blinking, and already feeling panicky for his friend's well-being. "Where would you go? For how long? Would you come back? Would you go alone? What if something happened?" It made sense that Ever, whose parents typically stayed put, was thinking of doing the same while Mateo, whose parents travelled and moved about every other season it seemed, was thinking of doing that as well. But none of that occurred to the Hart-boy, who had turned completely away from the terrarium and was now regarding Mateo with wide blue eyes.
