Denver, Colorado Jeraine opened his laptop at the dining room table to read his email. They had gone for a grueling long run, stuffed down breakfast, and now Tanesha was finishing getting ready. She had a lab class this afternoon, so school started a little later today. But since Fin disappeared, she was going to school for both of them. She had to be there early enough to get the results of Fin’s last exam. Jeraine was turning on his computer when Tanesha’s feet pounded down the wood stairs from their bedroom. “When’s Jake going to . . .” Tanesha started. The rest of her sentence was garbled by the kitchen wall between them. Her voice continued with the addition of her banging around in the kitchen cabinets. Trying to decide if he should go in there, he stared out the window. If he went into the kitchen, he would know what she was saying, but given the velocity of cabinet opening and closing, she was likely to yell at him. If he stayed here, she’d probably yell at him anyway.
