Summary
On the walk home, there’s an ambulance waiting outside with a couple squad cars. She tries to force her way through but one of them holds her back.
When everything’s been cleared away, he’s still there and he sits with her on the steps while she cries. “It was the drugs,” she says, and he doesn’t deny.
Sally is sixteen and entirely alone for the first time in her life.
