"Now Charlie looked worried, "Do we have to tell her?" Well, I hadn't intended to, but I'm starting to think it might be agood idea. I'm not trying to... worry you, though I know I must be. Iwon't tell her if you ask me not to, but it's just if you were mychild, I'd want to know. And with everything that's happened, I thinkshe's going to find out one way or the other. I'd rather it was fromyou or me." God, I'm going to get in so much trouble." Not as much as me I think." Why do you say that?". The meteor was somehow responsible for her strange behavior in the hall, but how could she know that? Once he unlocked the mystery, Sally would be one of the first he’d tell.

He waved to Roy, but his friend must have not seen him, because he didn’t wave back.Later that Sunday, Patrick gave Sally an awkward hug goodbye when it was time for her and Jack. He suggested that we continue on for a few more miles. He would like to find water before we stopped, but we could make a dry camp if we had to.Fortunately, Bill and Amos had been able to put together a crude microscope after Lynne made some lenses for it.
