Chapter 22 Summary

Ezra and Nyle head for the farmhouse, feeling a connection that until then had not been existed as deeply as it does now. As they walk toward the house, Ezra tenses up, but Nyle comforts him, explaining that Gran is burning green wood. They stand there holding hands, and Nyle likes the feeling. Nyle tells Ezra that she needs to bring in more wood, and he offers to help, loading his arms with more wood than he should be carrying. Nyle loads the wood carrier, and as she opens the door to the kitchen, she sees someone in the driveway from her peripheral vision. It is Muncie. Once again, Nyle chooses to ignore the facts and pretend she does not see Muncie. She hopes that everything will be all right.
