Adams Williams guards an empty seat on the school bus — a ritual since losing his brother Martins. New girl Chichi Okafor won't accept "it's taken" and refuses to back down.
Chichi earns a lunch seat, then a real conversation. In the school library, Adams finally tells her about Martins — and lets her sit beside him on the bus for the first time.
Chichi visits the Williams home. Over dinner and an after-dark heart-to-heart, Adams learns healing isn't betrayal — and finally, willingly, fills the seat for good.
