Conner Bronte found an exciting announcement in his mailbox. For a limited time, loans would be available to Nevermore citizens interested in opening a local business.

Conner immediately went to the phone to start the process of applying.

Outside, Zondek was playing with their neighbor, Morrow Sendak. Zondek felt like he was suddenly overflowing with friends.

But his cousin Wander was worried he was losing one of his. He was trying unsuccessfully to get his sister Nitta to come with him to the community center to play some video games. They had always been close, but for the last few days she had been quiet and withdrawn, not wanting to spend time with him or go anywhere.

Finally, Wander gave up and went without her.

Once he was gone, Nitta, feeling guilty and confused about her kiss with Bilbo, began working on Wander’s homework.
