Will needed to not be in the basement, thinking about what he'd felt.
By the time he got home, it was dark.
His parents were in the living room, watching TV.
And his mother intercepted him before he could escape downstairs.
Will!
Good, you're home.
I wanted to tell you before you heard it from somewhere else.
Will's mom, Laney Shockley, was a 63-year-old retired elementary school teacher.
She was the sweeter of his two parents, and she worried about her son.
Will knew that.
A lot less confrontational and more gentle and caring.
Sometimes, though, Will wondered what good that had done him.
"'What's up?'
Will chirped.
"'Audra's coming this weekend.
"'So is Armand and Lily.
"'They're going to stay here through Sunday.'
Will felt his stomach drop.
Oh, awesome.
Oh, come on now.
