Sarah and Michael had already arrived and they came out on the porch with Joan as the car pulled in. Peter shook hands with Michael, who took the Gladstone bag and placed it on the porch. Sarah embraced her dad but made a bigger fuss over Tommy, who had known her since infancy. He was like an uncle, or even more — a protector of the entire Cammon clan. He easily lifted Peter’s slim daughter off her feet. She pecked him on both cheeks and implored him to stay for dinner. Verden begged off for the reason he had given Peter and, with a kiss for Joan and a cheery wave to the others, drove away. Peter sized up his two children. Michael was older than Sarah by seven years, and had a much quieter nature. It wasn’t so much reticence, Peter thought, but a confidence in how he lived his life; he always made firm decisions and never felt the need to justify or explain himself. In a group, people would turn to him, and they listened to him when he finally entered the conversation.
