DAD.
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā THE Ā SILENCE Ā BETWEEN Ā THEM Ā HANGS Ā HEAVY Ā FOR Ā A Ā MOMENT, Ā thick Ā with Ā tension, Ā like Ā the Ā air Ā before Ā a Ā storm. Ā Ā Ā Ā john Ā doesnāt Ā raise Ā his Ā voice. Ā Ā Ā Ā itās Ā not Ā worth Ā it. Ā Ā Ā Ā ā youāre Ā done Ā when Ā i Ā say Ā youāre Ā done. ā
The look in Johnās eye, voice laced with authority. Yes sir lingers on the tip of his tongue, instinct of old habits long outgrown. ā No. ā Chin tilts up, face set. ā No, Dad. ā Sam repeats with finality, his own voice building. ā Iām not just some idiot kid anymoreā you canāt order me around. Look-- you might not like what I have to say, but youāre going to listen to me for once, dammit. ā
