Chapter 57

“Some of us have better shit to do than cry and mope.”

“Jason,” Dad snapped. Shane took the quicker route, and kicked him.

“Ow!”

“Stop it!” Dad ordered, rapping his knuckles hard on the table. Shane subsided, but not before sticking his tongue out at Jason in a fit of childish pique. Seriously, Jason could bring out the ten-year-old in anybody.“Right. We need a discussion.”

“Urgh,” Jason said.

“Regardless of all this…drama lately,” Dad said, “I am still being relocated to Cornwall, and we are still moving.”

“Yeah, you guys are,” Jason said. “I thought this was about free food.”

“Jason, shut it, or I will staple your mouth closed,” Dad said calmly; Shane snorted and smirked. “We’ll be moving at the end of May. Including you.”

Shane blinked. “Including me.”

“Yes.”
