There weren't any other family pictures though. None of Mom and Tusk other than what was already there. There was one new one of Tusk and Havoc on their bikes, but that was it. It kind of surprised me. Tusk pulled me into the kitchen and pushed me and Mom to sit at the small table off to the side. Everything felt awkward and silent. Other than the sound of Tusk rummaging around in the cupboards. Mom just stared at me like she was trying to memorize every inch of my face. I almost wish I would have asked one of the guys to come. Maybe I'd feel less on edge if one of them- Wait, what am I even saying? Suddenly, a cup was set down in front of me. I looked down at the black liquid as Tusk set down the creamer and sugar. Then he took a seat on the opposite side of the table, across from me.
