And now it's "We need to talk to you." It's awkward giggles through the wall. Other sounds, I don't want to know at all. It's her making breakfast when she hasn't cooked in years. It's him walking in the door when she's not even here. It's trying to avoid awkward conversation when I'm high as a kite put politeness is the expectation. It's things in the house suddenly being fixed. It's extra noise when there should be silence. It's wondering if he'll try to be my "dad" and if he steps out of line you know I'll fight back. It's flattening my quills, remind myself: he's a different person. I guess it's hard to put a family back together once it's broken.
