Summary
“Alright, kiddo,” Laura said, "just… do your best here, alright? I think this placement… it could be good for you.”
“It’s an emergency placement,” Ponyboy pointed out, barely holding himself back from rolling his eyes.
“Yes - well, even so,” Laura continued. “Listen - call me if you do have any trouble, okay? I mean it, kiddo. Just… I’m in your corner, remember?”
Ponyboy just shrugged, finding it hard to believe after all these many years of Laura complaining about his short-lived placements. If anything, it worried him more that he was being given this reminder - she didn’t normally tell him to call her if anything was the matter. Did she know something about the Curtis brothers that Pony ought to be privy to? Or had she also made the connection between Darrel’s imposing stature and Pony’s track record with attracting less-than-friendly placements?
