Long before I was ready to say good-bye, Hannah rose to her feet and beckoned to Andrew. We’ve had enough excitement for one day. It’s time to leave.After making sure Aunt Blythe wasn’t looking, Andrew pulled a leather bag out of his pocket. She thinks you already have these, he said. They’re yours for keeps now.I clasped the marbles to my heart and stared at him through a blur of tears. Come back soon, Andrew.He hugged me so hard he squashed my nose against his bony shoulder. At my age, I can’t promise anything, but I’ll do my best to see you again, and that’s the truth. After all, Hannah and I aren’t that far away. With modern cars and highways, Riverview’s a sight closer than it used to be.Reluctant to let him go, I looked him in the eye. No matter what happens, I’ll always keep you here. I struck my chest with my fist. Right here in my heart as long as I live.Andrew smiled. I fancy you picked up that pretty notion from Hannah. Hugging me again, he said, I hope your heart lasts as long as mine has, Drew. I want you to have all the time in the world to do whatever you like.
