"It was only partially true. At seventeen Laura would be free to agree to have sex, but not being an adult she was not free to decide where she lived....In a sense we were in for 'a year in limbo'. I felt no reason to bring that concern up at 2 in the morning though and instead we all went to bed."Do you think we have to worry about Debbie?"
