“But my friends will be 42 updates.” Madeline protested. “They’ll have to 43 .” her mom said.
“What if something bad happens?” Madeline changed her 44 . Her mom shook her head as she opened a drawer. Madeline saw that her parents’ phones were already in it. Madeline had to 45 her phone in, too.

The next morning, a golden sun was rising over the blue ocean. The sky was cloudless. The scene reminded Madeline of a photo that Brandi had shared. Her friends had oohed and ahhed over it. This view was  53  better. It would leave everyone  54  . Madeline’s  hand  55   to the bedside table,  but there was nothing there.
That evening, Madeline lost herself in the jigsaw puzzle again. She felt a little excited every time the shapes 56 . Soon, all that were left were a few gaps. She quickly put the remaining pieces into  place. The puzzle was 57 .
She stepped back to 58 the finished puzzle. The picture showed an old painting of several farmhands working in a brown field and there was a giant rainbow arching across the sky.
