Chapter 17 Summary: “Working in the Dark”

Griffin brings pizza and orange juice for Cheyenne and asks her what it is like to be blind. She explains that she often prefers to interact with people over the phone or over the internet because it puts her on equal footing, i.e. they “know the exact same amount of information” (109). She tells Griffin about her accident. She was 13 on a visit to her grandmother and she, her mother, and dog Spencer were walking on the side of the road. Two kids were racing cars, and an oncoming car swerved into the three of them in order to avoid the racing cars. The impact killed both mother and dog, but the impact threw Cheyenne into a speed limit sign.

Chapter 18 Summary: “Big Words Scare Me”

Griffin is trying to sleep in a sleeping bag on the floor, but by Cheyenne’s restlessness and moaning keeps him awake. He tries to determine whether she has a fever, waking her up in the process. He goes to the bathroom to the cupboard under the sink to see if he can find anything to help and finds cough mixture, Advil, and Cipro, an antibiotic. The Cipro belonged to his mother, Janie Sawyer, and is over six years old.
