Wilbur glanced at Father, trying to gauge his reaction. Father had never seemed truly old, but in that moment, it felt like Wilbur was watching him age a thousand years per second.

Father pursed and unpursed his lips like he was trying to swallow something rancid. “Why does it matter, Wilbur?”
“Because you look at him like you look at me, and I don’t know what to make of that.”
Father’s gaze pinned Wilbur to his seat, even more than the soreness of his body did. Even Tommy had fallen quiet, sensing –in the way that younger siblings do—that his brother was in the sort of trouble that required absolute silence.
