Cyrus was strapped in the back watching a Dora DVD on my laptop. I had to distract him somehow. I needed something bright and cheerful to keep him in the dark about today.
And I drove aimlessly. Keeping moving, covering the town ten times over as if I would gain some clarity from the movement. But clarity didn't come. Instead, I stopped at a Mc Donald's drive thru and ordered some food for Cy, who was oddly quiet. I couldn't remember when I had eaten last.
His teacher had told me Cy had been withdrawn all day.
Maybe the weather had affected him in the same way it affected me. Or maybe he sensed something wasn't right. They say kids have a sixth sense. The ability to feel beyond what we can.
My conversation with Cassie played over and over. It had been a violent robbery
