A little later, Kevin was on the older, cheaper couch in his home with his sisters sitting on either side of him. He could tell something was up with them. He wished nothing was up. He was so tired of trying to read people. Trying to use intuition. He didn't want to dwell in the world of feelings then. He wanted some time off. Time to think on strange things. Time to feel the warm comfort of little known facts like a comforting blanket. He saw his sisters turning to him.

"Kevin, we need to talk to you," Kaley said.

"Does this have something to do with what you whispered to Zoey about pulling the bandage off?" Kevin asked.

"Damn!" Kaley shook her head. "You hear like a hawk." She put her palm up. "I mean, like a rabbit." She changed it again. "No, like a dog."

Kevin laughed hard at that and explained when they looked at him. "It's funny. All the stupid crap I know, and I don't know if a rabbit has super hearing."

"You'd think rabbits do because of the big ears," Kaley said.

Kami covered her ears. "But, maybe the cute floppy ears muffle the sound."

Kevin laughed more before he gave each of his sisters an adoring look. "I think that's the first time we've talked about dumb things like that ... Since Dad died."

His sisters nodded and smiled at that thought.

Kami touched Kevin's arm. "This is a serious talk honey."

"Go ahead and rip the bandage off." Kevin took in a breath and relaxed. He was still a little wound up from the biggest talk he ever gave his sisters. It would be hard to endure another hard talk, but maybe it was better to get it over with. Maybe this was the day for hard talks.

"Zoey is my friend, so she tells me things—" Kami gulped. "Like a friend should." She froze up.

Kaley took her hands and turned Kevin to face her. "Zoey says she's tried. She's gone slow. She's tried more ways than one."

He searched Kaley's face for any clue but didn't have a clue. "What the hell are you trying to tell me?"

Kami took her hands and turned his face. "You have a problem being intimate."

"Nonie!" Kaley looked like she regretted yelling that but was glad she got his attention. "I think ... We all think ... It's hard for you to be intimate with a woman ... Because of her being intimate—"

"Screw that Kaley," Kami yelled. "That bitch wasn't intimate with Brother. She abused him. She molested him. She raped him!"

Kevin tried to talk but couldn't. He felt his hands shaking and that shaking spread to the rest of his body.

Kaley hugged him first, but Kami hugged him harder.

His sisters held him through the tears that flowed and shook his body harder.

Once the crying stopped and the shaking subsided, he looked down at the floor. "Can you help me fix it?"

"No, honey," Kaley said.

"But, we know someone who can." Kami stood up, pulled out her phone, and texted.
