The Thatchers hoped that by the time they moved in August, Kenny would get more used to the i______ of leaving. However, he showed no signs of a______ the news and didn’t want to pack his belongings.

When the morning of the move arrived, Kenny was nowhere to be found. His parents called Tony Strong’s house, but Mrs. Strong said she hadn’t seen Kenny.
