Midnight Sun Page #3

---

Really, there's nothing to

suggest any neurodegeneration.

Any exposure to sunlight?

No, of course not.

I'm gonna refill her

prescription for you this time,

but she really should be coming

to these appointments with you.

Yeah, well, you know teenagers.

They get embarrassed

by their dads.

- She has XP, Jack.

- I know exactly what she has.

It's not gonna

fall into remission.

And every year, the risk

becomes more serious for her.

So, if she's exposed to even

the slightest bit of sunlight...

She won't be.

- She's reached that age we talked about.

- She won't be.

Any word on the University

of Washington study?

I submitted Katie's name for their Phase

Two trials, if it even gets that far.

I wouldn't get your hopes up.

Research funding

being what it is,

we're talking about a disease that

affects only one in a million people.

We're in luck,

'cause she is one in a million.

- A cat funeral?

- [Katie groans]

Please stop saying it out loud.

[laughs] No, I mean,

I've heard that dead pets

can actually be

an aphrodisiac.

Morgan, what should I have said?

Any other combination of words

in the English language.

Like, "Hey, I'm Katie Price.

I've watched you outside

my window for the past 10 years,

and I've been in love with you,

stalking you every minute of the day."

- Okay, don't start with that...

- Or how about, "Hey, you may remember me from kindergarten,

when everyone

called me a vampire."

No one remembers that!

- What did I do?

- It's bad, but we'll fix it.

I feel so stupid and lame.

Well, at least

you have M&M's. So...

Thanks.

So, you've just gotta

make up for it next time.

There's not gonna be

a next time.

- You don't know that.

- I do.

This is good.

This is what Taylor Swift does.

She has awkward

interactions with boys,

and then she just writes

amazing songs about it. What?

Oh, no, no.

- Oh, come on.

- What's happening?

Did you see my notebook

when you came in?

Your notebook notebook? No.

I think I left it

at the train station.

- Oh, God.

- Can you please go get it for me?

Morgan, it's so important.

Please.

You know, I would,

but there's, like,

a few other poppin' cat funerals

that I was gonna hit today.

No, no! I'm in a corner! Oh!

[crowd chattering]

Hey.

My friend's

been looking for that.

You know her? Oh, wait.

Morgan, right?

We had English class together.

- I'm Charlie...

- Charlie Reed, yeah. I know.

And it was a history class.

But how do you know her?

- Did she just move here?

- Notebook first.

Or you could just tell me where she

lives and I could drop it off.

I have a better idea.

Hey, Dad, I need to go to the train

station to pick up my notebook.
