“There was a foreign accent in the crowd at the library, but I didn’t pick up on it fast enough.” Jessie stopped and fastened Phillip’s hat. “Did it sound like the one on the monitor?” Tina took the pull rope from Jessie. “Was it the same woman’s voice?” Jessie shrugged. “It could have been. There aren’t many accents around Fairfield, except Swedish. But it didn’t sound Swedish. More…maybe German.” Bryce Peterson was passing them on the sidewalk. “Hi!” “Oh, hi.” Jessie felt her face get hot—even though it was freezing outside. “Uh…this is Tina Adams.” “I liked your music,” Tina said. “How’d the library people know you played the violin?” “My dad and Miss Tyler are old friends. She asked me to play.” He leaned toward the sled. “Hi, Phillip. Remember me?” Phillip clutched Teddy and said, “Big dog!” Jessie was silent. Oh, fine. Tina talks away and I can’t think of a thing to say. “See you later. Nice meeting you, Tina. Bye, Phillip.”
