The Delaney family took up a whole row in the theater with Paula and Al sitting beside her mom. Max and Holly had Bobby between them to keep him out of mischief and JC sat on Regan’s other side taking pictures not of the kids on stage but the reactions of the parents. Regan refused to look for Brooks. On stage Angel was dressed as an adorable pilgrim while Luke played an Indian. Angel stared off into space, eating red vines and humming while the older kids took care of the dialogue. Luke took a fruit from the table and bit into it before realizing it was plastic. He chucked it to the side, hitting another kid in the face who started crying. Most of the cast snickered and forgot their lines. Their teacher hissed from the front row and tried to bring order to the giggling kids. When the play finished they all filed into a gym where there was food and long tables set up. Regan heard the whispers and knew Gertie and other neighbors had spread word of her and Brooks’ antics this afternoon.
