The Abandoned Son
"Chloe's had it worse. The day the collectors showed up, she got into it with one of them, got shoved, and fell down a flight of stairs. Broke her leg."
I went still for a second.
"Right now, your mom's on her own, trying to take care of your dad and Chloe both, while fielding those collectors on top of it." Nathan shook his head. "She's lost so much weight. It's hard to watch, honestly."
I picked up the glass of water on the table and took a sip.
Nathan watched me. "Ryan, what are you thinking?"
I set the glass down. "I'm not really thinking anything."
