I am by no means a good person. That’s pushing it a little. I don’t love him more than you. You did nothing wrong. I’m not— I’m not angry. Jim would’ve killed all of us if I kicked him out. I made the choice I thought was going to be the best for you two. 

…Please come take us home? P-please? If you love us, you’ll take us home. Please, dad. 

...Okay. Okay. I'm--okay. It's okay. It's okay. It's--I have to go.

…he nice?

Yes. Very. 

…would he make me talk?

Not if I told him to leave you alone. 

Okay.

Great!

Yes. Very.

Not if I told him to leave you alone. 

Yeah, sure!

Ok. Pick the movies. I’ll get soup. Want some, too?

…he nice?

Yes. Very. 

Honestly, it’s fine, Iz. I’m still kind of worn down from the last time I did training with him. I want to stay home. 

…Are you lying?

Are you calling me a liar? Seriously, Iz, I’ve got bruises. It’s fine. A day off wouldn’t hurt. 

Yeah, sure!

You know what? I’ll ask Simon if he wants to come over or something. It’s fine.

No, it’s fine. Liam, go. I mean it. I… I’ll just read or something.

…I’m going off to Simon’s for a bit, but I’ll be back in a few hours, okay? 

…oh… okay.

…Or I can stay.
