Chapter 15

The shower was still running behind the bathroom door when Hilary went to check on Seth. She knocked tentatively, hoping Seth would hear her. When he didn’t respond within a half minute or so, she opened the door a crack. She asked in her cheeriest voice, “Hey? You there?”

Seth stood in the shower, the water pouring over his head. He didn’t move. He didn’t turn off the shower. Hilary could tell, by the lack of steam in the room, that the water wasn’t hot anymore.

“Seth,” Hilary said through the door. “Do you think you could eat anything?”

For a long time, he didn’t answer.

“Seth,” Hilary said. “I love you.”

His voice, when he spoke, was ragged and angry. “Mom. Don’t.”

“Honey.”

“I don’t want to talk about it.”

“You don’t have to do this by yourself. We’re here for you.”

But here came a lightning burst of grief again, Seth’s voice that sounded like it was suffocating in air, like a fish gasping after it had been yanked up on land. “Please. Go. Leave me alone.”
