That was where she had put everything from her satisfying clear-out earlier in the day, and she hadn't covered upwardly the things she was discarding with other trash, every bit she usually did. Damn it! She knew exactly what was coming. Jay stood up with a ratty stuffed chicken in his manus.
"You can't throw this away. Ryder loves this."
He did, but Mae hated it. The little stuffed craven---a gift from her sister when Ryder was born---had grown greyness and smelly and was beyond washing, and Mae had been able to slip it away from Ryder's bed for several nights running. With the trip, she figured he would forget about information technology, although she'd felt a tiny twinge of regret equally she'd stuffed it into the trash can. It was just that it was so gross at present, and at that place were and so many stuffies. If she didn't get rid of them, they'd have over.

Couldn't he see that they wanted the same things, for the globe to stay nice and safety and solid around Madison and Ryder and around themselves? She knew Jay had moved effectually a lot as a kid, and that at least once his dad had handed him a shoebox and told him if it didn't fit in there, it couldn't come up. But sometimes you had to get rid of those things, fifty-fifty things you lot once loved, to make room for better things.
And sometimes yous made mistakes. Don't bring upward the baseball glove. Don't bring up the baseball glove.
She hadn't known the baseball glove was a perfectly worn-in classic Rawlings. Or that Jay had been hoping Madison or Ryder might use it someday. All she'd seen was that it was old. And kinda moldy. She honestly hadn't idea he would notice it was gone."
