❛    nothing wrong with being afraid, doc,    ❜      jack said, and danny shook his head. his hands gripped the trike his father had taken to calling a SPEED DEMON. he wasn’t sure what it meant. he knew, though, that it sent panic through his mother that shot from her like firecrackers on the fourth of july. it was bright and sporadic. he didn’t mean to cause her any worry. but danny felt love, too. there was a warm, radiating love between his mother and his father, and it was a love he knew, somehow, was meant for him. it made him smile. and so he did, up at his mother, then at his father. the bad word ( this DIVORCE ) was gone, so far gone now he hoped to forget it entirely. it would disappear like his red ball his father won him in a slot machine prize had after they moved here. he missed that ball, but he liked this SPEED DEMON better. it was red, too. ❛    i’m not scared, daddy.    ❜      he was not a liar, but he did not want to see those sparks from his mother again, either. his smile widened.      ❛    honest! can we go now, mommy?    ❜      he craned his head toward her on the sidewalk. wendy put a hand to her cheek and shrugged her shoulders. she was laughing, though, and danny thought she looked like sunshine. ❛    oh, go on. but hold on tight, will you, danny?    ❜      danny did.

for a brief moment, dan wondered if this was why his hands still felt hardened  —  squeezing with too - tight fists and with that same boyhood fear. his mother, the sun, his father, the moon, they were both long gone now, but he’d always found them one way or the other. his mother, in the spring, his father, at the bottom of a bottle. he didn’t realize it, but his knuckles were that familiar lack of color, that whiter shade of pale. coming here, coming to this town, it was all for a reason, it had to be. even if tony had been a flicker of light, even if he’d fallen off that bus instead of walking from it, frazier was where he needed to be. for all his years running from himself, useless as it was, there had to be a point where he looked in the mirror and saw with earnest what looked back. he never anticipated to be standing outside of his first meeting like this, wringing his palms like a sinner in a sermon, but here he stood. afraid, guilty, prepared to be judged for   (   CANNY   )   all that he’d done   (   MAMA   )   and wondering if this chance was what he truly deserved. would someone forgive him? had his mother forgiven his father?

❛    oh, go on.    ❜      he heard wendy say. dan glanced to the door of frazier methodist church. she was behind his back, or maybe she wasn’t. it was getting harder to tell these days. without the drink, what shined and what haunted? ❛    what if i can’t?    ❜      his voice was hoarse in his own throat. the man who was once the boy called danny shook his head in time with a ghost. ❛    hold on tight  —      ❜      he released the clench of his hands, watching the tremors ease out over the veins there. blood eased back beneath his skin and he swallowed so thickly he thought he may choke out a sob.
