〃Nothing;〃 Danny whispered。
〃Youre missin your dad; arent you?〃
Danny nodded。 〃You always know。〃 One of the tears spilled from the corner of
his right eye and trickled slowly down his cheek。
〃We cant have any secrets;〃 Hallorann agreed。 〃Thats just how it is。〃
Looking at his pole; Danny said: 〃Sometimes I wish it had been me。 It was my
fault。 All my fault。〃
Hallorann said; 〃You dont like to talk about it around your mom; do you?〃
〃No。 She wants to forget it ever happened。 So do I; but — 〃

〃Do you need to cry?〃
The boy tried to answer; but the words were swallowed in a sob。 He leaned his

〃Even if Im down in Maryland?〃
〃Even there。〃
They were quiet; watching Dannys bobber drift around thirty feet out from the

friend?〃
〃As long as you want me。〃
The boy held him tight and Hallorann hugged him。
〃Danny? You listen to me。 Im going to talk to you about it this once and
never again this same way。 Theres some things no six…year…old boy in the world
