Annihilation (The Seamus Chronicles Book 1) - Plot & Excerpts
We all get a stern lecture about communicating. Sofie is spared a little bit, but Dad makes it pretty clear that if she is going to stay with us she will be held to the same standard. I am a little surprised at how she handles him. She offers a simple, honest apology and an acknowledgement that there is one set of rules for everybody. Grace tries to explain to Dad that everyone makes mistakes, including adults. But that isn’t what he wants to hear. He calls it backtalk and makes clear that this is not what he expects from his children. I see only a subtle difference between what Grace and Sofie said and I want to argue details and stick up for Grace. But I hold my tongue; the sooner this is over, the better for all of us. It’s almost one in the afternoon. We’re all standing around the kitchen unsure how to proceed after the lecture. “Does anyone want nachos with me?” Liam asks as he heads to the fridge. Food. Lunch. I wonder why I never get interrupted with thoughts of eating.
