'How long did you know Mrs. Slager?' the detective asked. 'Who?' Salvatore pointed across the aisle to Drape's window. 'Deer!'

'I'm so sorry,' Drake said. Her future was secured.

Then he whispered, 'After we're home from the honeymoon, evenings could be quite interesting making babies in the family room. We should eat together at the dining room table as often as possible. Families need to face each other every day to stay connected and happy.'

'She doesn't think we should spend time cooking when we could be exercising or reading something challenging.'

Sky made his comments directly to his parents too. 'Drape tells me I'm etched in her heart. Apparently, that is the only thing written in stone in this house.'

His temper was still blowing his thoughts to worthless whiffs of sense.

#metaphor?

Sky rattled the pots and pans louder than was necessary to drown out the female voices from the family room. They were driving him crazy. Maybe he was meant to live alone. He'd have the time and the quiet to become a world-class mathematician.

Drape looked at her. Did Mother realize how unusual it was to be twenty years old with a [sic] doctorate degree only months away?
