Jodi flinched as Sam slammed the door to his room. Another fight over you.

Kent died in the war years ago, you came into her life even later than that. Is it so wrong for her to move on? “I think he’s still grieving.” As if it weren’t obvious. She turned to you with misty eyes. “I’m sorry. I- I’m trying here, it’s just…”

She wrapped her arms around herself with a long exhale. This was so hard. You were her only reprieve from her constant business, and she can’t blame either of her sons for not caring about you, but she cared an awful lot. And she’s trying. Kent was supposed to come back and be their father. Some small part of her is bitter she gave away her youth for nothing, but she’d never dare voice it aloud. Not since he passed.

She wiped her eyes and turned to the stove. “I should probably work on dinner.” She shifted her weight between her feet. “I don’t think they’ll like it if you stayed for dinner. I’d like you to, but that’s not a good idea, I don’t think.”

She took a deep breath. She had to give Sam time, and maybe he’d never come around. Vincent was less hostile but still hadn’t warmed up to you completely. “But you can take some with you if you want.” The fish casserole was always a family favorite.
