Chapter 93

• Reuniting with daddy
• He was watching a movie in the basement, the flickering blue light making his face look a little alien. Mom had sent her out of the family room, she was having some sort of wine night with her friends. Daddy usually liked to be left alone on Mommy’s wine nights...something about estrogen levels being too high.
• She knew he was a little grumpy today, but it had been so long since he paid attention to her. Her friends were at summer camp and she was bored and lonely. She came up to the couch and leaned against the back of it, idly scuffing her toes on the carpet. It was cooler in the basement, a welcome relief from the heat of the summer night upstairs, but she still shivered a little in her tank top and shorts.
