chapter 16

There was no joy in waking up each morning. As close as Rameck, George, and I were, I wasn’t sure even they could relate. George called regularly and occasionally drove to Camden to check on me, and Rameck and I still played basketball together. But there were long periods of silence when we got together. For whatever reasons, my two best friends weren’t able to reach me. Davis, Sampson; Jenkins, George; Hunt, Rameck; Page, Lisa Frazier. The Pact (p. 197). Penguin Publishing Group.
