In the afternoon, he meets Harry across the street from the school. He looks small next to some of the other boys, as if the books he’s carrying in a strap over his shoulder are as heavy as he is.

Harry sees him right away—he seems to sense him there—and they walk home. The boy understands something has happened, he waits for his father to tell him what. He would protect him if he could.

They walk without speaking half a block and then, still in sight of the children emptying out of school, Nick puts his arm around his son’s head and pulls him into his side. Holding him, holding on to him.

And his son allows himself to be held, in front of his school friends, knowing his father wouldn’t do this to him without a good reason.
