Chapter 23


Holden leaves Phoebe for a bit to ring up Mr. Antolini, an english teacher from one of his past schools. Holden tells him the situation, and he invites Holden over to sleep for the night. Holden tells us that he was the only teacher to get closer to James body after he jumped, so he's a good guy. Holden goes back to Phoebe's room and they dance for a few songs and their parents get home from a dinner party. Holden tries to get the room to not smell like cigarettes while hiding. The mom comes in to tuck Phoebe in, and then Holden leaves, but not before Phoebe gives him all of the Christmas money she was saving up and Holden gives her his red hunting hat.

Response- Wow, so their mother reacted smoothly when Phoebe said that the smoke was from her... I would be freaked out on! Holden seemed like the perfect older brother when he danced with Phoebe!
