The last time I saw Daniel, he was standing in the hallway pulling on his sneakers, backpack hanging off one shoulder.
“Did you finish the history assignment?” I asked.
“Yes, Mom.” He grabbed his jacket, then leaned over and kissed my cheek. “See you tonight.”
Then the door closed, and he was gone.
I stood at the window and watched him head down the street.
That evening, Daniel didn’t come home.
