Q lives next door to Margo, in Jefferson Park, for much of his life. One day when they were 9, the two go to the park and come across the body of Robert Joyner. They quickly return home and tell their parents. Margo spends some time investigating his death. She later climbs through Q's window and gives him the report of her findings, telling Q that "Maybe all the strings inside [Robert Joyner] broke". Margo asks Q to go with her, but fearing getting in trouble he declines. Over the next decade, Q and Margo drifted apart, with both gaining new friends, but Q never forgot about her and the miracle he believed she was.
During their senior year of high school, she takes Q out to get revenge on fellow classmates. The next morning, she is missing. Q goes all out to find her and drags along his friends. When they finally find Margo, she is in Agloe, New York, in an abandoned shack. Margo stays in Agloe. Q understands that Margo wasn't happy in Orlando. Q leaves, and Margo builds a new life.
