"The airport is crowded, despite being the smaller one in the area. Vi bumps into a few people despite her best efforts, following behind her mother and Liz. She’s anxious, stomach clenching, but it isn’t a fear of flying that has her upset."

It means she’s afraid I might say something crazy or post something strange on social media – outing us as a family of lunatics to all of her little friends.” I spit out, only a little bitter.

"Actually we're pretty sure Tim made them in the basement as a trauma response," Cassie admits.

"Oh, well, that's not gonna be a fun conversation," Gar says with a grimace.
