Luke: Hey Gracie, I just heard about Noah getting added back to the roster for the World Series. That’s wonderful news. I don’t have his number, so will you tell him good luck from me? Take care.

Wombat: Hi Miss Gracie. It’s Wombat. Tell Noah the boys at the firehouse are all cheering him on! (Even the Cardinal fans, but they said not to let that get around.)

Abe: GRACIE! OH MY GOODNESS! LIZZY AND I ARE GOING CRAZY!

Simone: I don’t know how you’re still making progress on the memoir when there’s SO. MUCH. EXCITEMENT!!! I swear I can’t go anywhere right now without hearing Noah’s name! But anyway, just wanted to let you know your editors couldn’t be more pleased with everything you’ve sent them. (They also hinted that if you need someone to go with you to any of Noah’s games for research on the memoir’s ending, they’d be happy to assist.)

Scotty: Grace! Did you get the flowers I sent you?

Unknown Number: Hey kiddo. Mert Adley here. Bowling league wants to know when Noah’s pitching. Also Bobby the Barber says to let Noah know all his haircuts will be half-price if he helps Seattle beat St. Louis.
