and Ms. Browne were from another planet, because they're just too perfect Ms. Browne is always dressed in some smart, accessorized outfit that could easily put her on the cover of Good Housekeeping, and Mr. Browne looks like a graying movie star. Really, it's ironic that Cam is the one that isn't from this world. So I'm shocked when the door swings open and a lifeless Mrs. Browne stands there, looking like she hasn't slept in a week. Her hair is out of control, and her designer clothes hang on her slumped shoulders, making her look twice her age. Usually, she'll greet me with a peppy "Hi, Morgan dear!" but instead, she breaks into tears, heavy sobs that shake her small body. She opens the screen door and pulls me into her arms and hugs me so close I almost throw up the ice cream I've just eaten. It's weird, because I've known her forever, and I think this is the first time she's actually cried in front of me. And hugged me. And made me want to vomit. "So, I guess you guys know about this," I say when she pulls back.
