    Summary

    “Well,” the man starts again, like none of that just passed through Rudo’s head, like he didn’t almost bolt across the table. He clears his throat, then flashes a small, easy smile. “Guess introductions are in order.”

    Rudo doesn’t return it.

    “Name’s Enjin,” he says. “I work with foster care and CPS. I take care of kids in situations like yours.”

    The words land heavy. Cold. They sink into Rudo’s chest like stones dropped into water, the ripple slow but suffocating.

    Cps.

    Rudo’s grip on the stuffed animal tightens.

    There’s no one left to take care of him.

    Understanding settles in, sharp and absolute.

    He’s going back into the system.

     

    (Or: After the mysterious death of his father, Rudo is put into a foster home and learns what it means to heal and be loved.)
