"Of course not" Will replied, frowning. "If she did, why would she tell us not to talk about the car accident in front of you? She's afraid-it'll make you upset."

Byron's expression wavered slightly. "You didn't tell her?"

"Dad, you said she'd definitely cry if she knew, so of course we didn't tell her," Will said.
