   Summary

   “And the Major?” Mom asks stiffly.

   “Asked me how my wish was treatin’ me,” Pete whispers. “Asked me if I regretted it.”

   Ray still wants the Major dead. Maybe even more than he used to. Ray would kill him with his bare hands if he could — but they’re too clumsy and his grip is too loose to do any real damage. That’s what the Major means, asking Pete if he regrets saving Ray. Do you still like your toy, now that it’s broken? Don’t you wish you’d left it on the ground with the strings cut?

   “. . . and?”

   When Pete smiles at him, it’s like the sun coming out. “Only regret is I didn’t kiss you sooner.”

   Months after the Walk, months of recovery, and Ray makes dessert to celebrate Pete coming home. Things spiral from there.
