Ray had come home last night and lectured Danny for an hour, first about how running away from problems never solved anything, then about how crime cannot go unpunished. Danny sat through the whole talk in silence, only asking if he could go to bed when Ray finished. I had turned on my heel and gone to bed as well, irritated Ray couldn’t sense Danny’s despair over his father’s arrest. Ray would not be open to a little constructive criticism, especially when he undoubtedly was feeling plenty guilty already, even though he’d never admit it. A steaming hot shower didn’t ease the tension in my shoulders. Before the alarm clock woke Ray, I managed to dress in jeans and a long-sleeved lime T-shirt and head into the kitchen, where I fried bacon and scrambled eggs to serve Danny his favorite breakfast. I made enough for Ray, too. When our bathroom shower water turned on again, I went in to wake Danny, who moaned when I shook his shoulder.
