Goodbye, my mate
My gut twisted, heavy with the weight of his silence, but I kept my mouth shut, letting the wind howl between us.
He'd been sulking all damn day, ever since Leah forgot his precious spring rolls and the sardines for that mangy mutt of his, Sharbo. I tried to muster something—some scrap of comfort, a grunt, a slap on the back—but it stuck in my throat like a bone. Seth just stared at the water, his jaw tight, his eyes hollowed out with whatever misery he was chewing on. Finally, he snapped, hurling his rod onto the pier with a clatter that made me flinch. He sank down, knees pulled up, and sulked there like a kicked dog.
