The next morning, Gracie stood by the front door, waiting for the dogs to come back in. She saw the limo coming through the gates, and knew that Max and Tyler were getting ready to head for the airport. She let the dogs in and closed the door securely before she walked across the lawn and around the pool. The least she could do was wave good-bye. They walked over to her. Tyler stuck out his hand. She shook it politely. Out of the corner of her eye she could see Ricky standing in the doorway. Her gaze returned to Max, who looked like he was about to stick out his hand. She closed the distance between them, reached for the collar of his shirt, and pulled him forward. She planted her lips on his and all but sucked out his tongue before she released him. Tyler caught his brother, or Max would have fallen.

“There’s smoke coming out your ears, Max,” Gracie said.

“She ain’t kidding, Bro. I can see it from way over here.” Tyler guffawed. “Put one foot in front of the other, and you’ll get to the car. You can do it, Bro.”

Ricky laughed his head off as he prepared to make coffee. Maybe it was just a swirl of early-morning fog circling his son’s head. Then again, maybe it was smoke. He knew in his gut that Max was never going to be the same. He remembered the bells and whistles from the night he’d spent with Roxy. He laughed harder, remembering his socks on the balcony.
