Summary
The change in phone calls was less gradual. They still called each other a few times a week like they always had, but Steve seemed off— distant, like it was a challenge to find things to talk about. The conversations got shorter all the time, and Steve always seemed to have a reason why he had to go. And then Robin found that if she didn’t pick up the phone and call, she just wouldn’t hear from him at all.
She called one evening and Steve didn’t answer, which wasn’t fully uncommon, sometimes he’d be at the high school late grading essays or he’d stop and grab a beer with a work buddy on the way home. What was uncommon, though, was for him not to call her back when he got home and for the answering machine to greet her for a second day in a row.
“I think Steve is mad at me,” Robin said when the phone just rang until she heard Steve’s recorded voice on the third day, too.

Summary
“What do you mean you’ve never caught anything? Like…anything anything?” Nancy shook her head. “After the things I’ve seen in the last year and the way you’ve handled them there’s no way I’m believing that Nancy Wheeler was an inside girl afraid of getting dirt under her nails growing up.”
“Not by choice! But it was always ‘don’t get mud on your shoes’, or ‘you can’t climb trees in a dress’, or ‘don’t touch anything, you’ll get salmonella’ or ‘stay out of the woods, it’s not ladylike to get dirt on your clothes’,” Nancy said in a deep voice mocking her father. “Catching tadpoles and frogs was ‘boys’ play’ so I just stuck to riding bikes and the playgrounds.”
Robin shook her head sadly. “You poor thing. Well, that settles it then—” She patted Nancy’s legs and moved to finally stand up. “—I’m going to teach you how it’s done, expertly, starting tonight with fireflies.”
