Under a Purple Moon
by Beverly Stowe McClure
GENRE: YA contemporary
“Eden, Eden. You okay?”
Murphy shook my shoulder gently, dragging me from my thoughts. “I’m okay.”
“You sure.? Why are you crying?’
“Crying?” I touched my cheek. Dampness chilled my fingers.
He handed me a napkin. “You want to talk about it?”
I wiped my eyes and drippy nose. “No.”
“All right. You want to play a game?”
“What do you have in mind?”
A light tapping noise from the direction of the front door interrupted Murphy’s answer. I scooted closer to him and whispered, “Murph, did you hear that?”
“What?”
I clicked off the CD player.
The tapping repeated itself.
“That. Listen. Someone’s at the door.” I snuffed out the candles.
A muffled voice called, “Murph, it’s me.”
I eyed Murphy. “Whoever’s out there knows your name.”
“Yeah, I better let him in.”
