11 Charlotte is sobbing so hard that she cannot reply. Her chin is trembling; her body is shaking. She feels that letting out all her sorrow is doing her good. Charlotte sits up, and Mom hugs her for a long time. Feeling the spider web gradually loosening, she whispers, “I really miss Nina . . . I wish she were here.” “You know,” says Mom, “even though Nina is thousands of miles away, she is still your friend. You can you call her on Saturday, if you like, early in the morning. It will be evening her time.” On Saturday morning, Charlotte wakes up early to call Nina. She is excited and a little bit nervous too. Suddenly on the tablet screen her friend's face appears! “Hello, Nina!” “Hello, Charlotte!” CHARLOTTE WELCOMES HER SADNESS.
