It was six o’clock and they were sitting down to dinner. Jessie’s mother settled Phillip into his booster seat and scooted him up to the table. “He stopped at the Petersons’ on his way home to talk to Sunny about the accident.” She put a spoonful of mashed potatoes on Phillip’s plate then passed them to Jessie. “I wish I could’ve gone,” Jessie said. “I’d love to hear what she has to say.” “You couldn’t have. Your dad needed to talk to the family and Dr. Adams alone.” Her mom cut up some meatloaf and slid it onto Phillip’s plate. He tried to corral the pieces with his new little fork. Her father suddenly appeared at the dining room entrance. “Hi. Why’s everyone so quiet?” He sat down at his usual place and began helping himself to the food. “Hi, Daddy,” said Jessie and Phillip in unison. “So, what did Sunny tell you?” asked Jessie. “I hope she can say who was driving the car. It’s been two weeks since the accident.” Her dad spread his napkin on his lap and took a sip of water.
