Summary
“Sorry,” Jason says. He thumbs the strap of his brand-new kindergarten backpack. (It’s a very impressive Thomas the Tank Engine kind. Willis swiped it from a thrift store during the summer. Jason’s never had anything this nice before, so he’s been taking extra care not to get it torn or dirty.) “Just—I’m home from school. You said you’d wait for me at the bus stop.”
Catherine’s brow wrinkles before her eyes widen in recognition. She presses a palm to her forehead. “Right, right. I’m so sorry, Jay. I must’ve forgot to set an alarm.”
“It’s okay,” Jason says. “Davey’s mom let me walk with them.” He looks around the cramped bedroom, smothered with dirty laundry and empty potato chip bags. “Did you get out of bed today?”
Catherine smiles tiredly. “Oh, yeah. I was up and about earlier. I’m just taking a little nap.” Jason knows he’s lying, but he doesn’t mention it. That’s not part of it. She sits up, her skin ghostly pale with dark circles dragging like anchors beneath her eyes. “Can you get Mommy’s medicine, baby?” She points him over to the dresser across the room. “Top drawer—you remember where it is.”
