    Summary

    Will, who didn’t speak for almost four years straight, who didn’t utter his first word since toddlerhood until he cried for his mom when Mike had fallen off his bike in third grade. Will, who spoke in small, unsure fragments afterwards, working towards full sentences in a way that most eight-year-olds had already mastered. Will, who was careful with his choice of words, Will, who Mike taught various phrases and terms to, Will, who was always more comfortable letting Mike speak.
    Will, who had never interrupted Mike in his life.
    “You’re not Will,” Mike breathes.
