How to Dig Yourself Out of a Hole

Two weeks later

"I like going to the café with you, Dad. I know that we don't know when Papa is coming back, but when he does, I think he will love it here. It's so strange, they don't even have any bacon!" Bailey's words were meandering chatter that Nate had gotten so used to over the years. Nate looked both ways, trying to ignore the sting of the word papa, and then pulled Bailey behind him as they crossed Main Street towards Emma's place. "Dad, I think I want to be vegan." They'd been doing this every morning for the last week and had settled into a comfortable rhythm.

"Okay. We can definitely look into that. I'm sure Emma has all kinds of tips for you."

"I like almond milk. I like hemp milk. I like all of the milk Emma uses."

"Me too."

"Why isn't bacon vegan?" Bailey asked happily.

"Because it's made from pig."

"From pig! That is it. We're all becoming vegan like Emma. I'm going to tell Nan and Granddad when I get home. I'm going to throw away all the meat." Bailey sounded determined.

"I'm not sure that Granddad would like to become a vegan, Bay."

"We all have to do thing that we don't want to do! Granddad says that all the time!"

"You're right. He does. You should definitely talk to Dad about becoming vegan," Nate said, opening the door to the café and guiding Bailey through carefully.

"Hi, Bailey. Hey, Nate," Emma said brightly, beaming as she poured hot water into two big mugs and then pushed some kind of beetroot juice along the counter. Nate watched as Bailey grabbed the drink and started gulping it down. Nate took his mug from Emma and sat down at their usual table, which was already covered in papers and folders.

"Emma, can I please get the activity books from the back?" Bailey asked angelically.

"Of course, you know where they are. We shouldn't be very long today," Emma replied.

"Oh. Emma, did you know that I'm going to make my whole family vegan?" Bailey added, standing proud.

"Really? That's great."

"I know."

"I can't even imagine what my dad's face will be like when Bay storms into his house and demands that he get rid of all his meat. He has barely spoken to me since I've gotten back—and can you blame him? I've practically co-opted his house, brought down a hailstorm of drama, and now his grandson is basically the CEO of PETA. My dad hunts, for god's sake." Nate kissed Emma's cheek.

"I don't know much about your dad. But I think it's exciting to have your life shaken up a bit. I can't imagine that there's ever a dull moment with Bailey around. He's like the coolest kid around, and so eloquent!" Emma shuffled some papers around and put them in some kind of order that Nate didn't understand.

"I don't know. I don't know anything. I'll tell you what will make me feel better: Why don't you hit me with some
