Will felt embarrassed to need such a basic reminder from his father. He failed his dad, his mom, and the sacred scriptures. Then it struck Will.

Will sighed. "Dad, are you avoiding the question on purpose?"

Byron didn't flinch. "Would I do that?"

"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.

Byron sat silently, his face unreadable, but his clenched fingers showed his unease. So, Maeve didn't know the truth about his blindness. He'd misread her intentions.
