chapter 21

Mother:

Garvey said your mom calls him almost every day to ask how you’re doing.”

Father:

Cole held back his emotions. “I think of her, too. How’s Dad?”

Edwin shrugged. “After he was arrested, his lawyer got him released the same day. He never spent a single night in jail.”

“Will I ever have to live with him again?” Cole asked.

“I can’t answer that question,” Edwin said.

Peter:

“How is Peter?”

“Not well. Garvey says his bouts of depression keep getting worse.”
