Hours passed, and in the evening, when Julie returned to her dorm, she noticed the space next to the window. It felt strange to return to the room and find no response to her letter from the letter thief.
Was he not able to unlock the window anymore?
She wondered whether he read it or if he had decided to not write to her anymore after hearing her story.
During dinner, Julie went to the lunchroom with her friends. While standing in the queue and waiting for their turn, Conner noticed a few people looking in their way, and he whispered, "Is there something we did that we don't know about?"
"Why, what happened?" asked Julie, and their eyes moved to notice some who looked at them before they looked away.
Melanie said, "It must be because you have been singing too loudly," and Conner gave her a stare.
