Beside him, Abigail peered curiously at her brother, who alternated between smiling and staring at his phone. "Who are you texting?" she asked.

"Dad," Langston replied, his attention shifting back to her as he remembered the more pressing matter at hand. He pulled Abigail closer, adopting a serious demeanor. "Abigail, will you listen to your brother?" "Of course!"

"Then you need to promise me that you won't mention anything about Dad in front of Mom. If she asks, just say you don't know, or tell her to ask me."

Abigail furrowed her brows, puzzled. "Why? Why can't we talk to Mom about Dad?"

"Because Mom and Dad have been arguing lately, and it's better not to bring him up."
