The ache in my chest changes, growing and shifting to include his pain as he explains. His father had been a police officer and was working a simple traffic accident when another car slammed into him. It was sudden, unexpected.
"Mom still hasn't moved on. Not really. They were so in love… they'd been together since high school." He clears his throat, a thoughtful look on his face as his eyes go to my hand tangled in Odin's fur.
When he looks up, his eyes are clear. "I don't want to look back on this summer and wonder what if."
