THE CONVERSATION started with a question.

“So, Lucas, you didn’t tell me what college you’re looking at attending,” Mr. Churchill said over coffee on the patio. It was late summer, and even though it was after eight, the sky was still bright. “Or are you planning on college?”

He’d already asked that, hadn’t he? And hadn’t Lucas answered? No. He’d started to answer, and then Mrs. C had cut in, asking Dalton if he’d ever finished reading Trainspotting.

“I just figured I’d go to Wagner University,” Lucas said. “It’s a top-rated school, and town residents don’t have to do the whole dorm thing. And I’ll probably qualify for some scholarships too. I’ve got a pretty good grade-point average.”

“It’s 3.8,” Dalton supplied proudly.

Mr. Churchill barely glanced his way before seeming to dismiss his son. “And your major?”

“Not sure yet. I’ll start with the general required classes that any major calls for. Get them out of the way.”

Mr. Churchill nodded. “Dalton here”—and he pointed—“is going to the University of Missouri at Rolla.”

Lucas did a double take. What? He turned to Dalton, who seemed equally surprised. “No, I’m not, Dad. We talked about this and—”

“Sir,” Mr. Churchill said, steel in his voice, clearly correcting his son. “Or Father. What’s happening to you? Is frolicking with this boy softening your brain while it hardens your cock?”

Lucas gasped, Dalton’s mouth fell open, and Mrs. C let out a “Richard. Must you be so crude? I thought we agreed to subtlety. Ease into this.”

They know! My God, they know. Lucas’s heart leapt, and his stomach turned to lead. I knew it. He’d known something was up from the moment he and Dalton walked in the door.

“Subtlety is for pussies,” Mr. Churchill snapped. “And I didn’t realize until a week ago that was what my son was.”

“Dad!” Dalton protested.

“What did I just say?” Mr. Churchill shouted. “Father or sir!”

Shit, thought Lucas, and his stomach began to roll, dinner the worse for wear for it.

“Sir,” Dalton replied quietly.

“Now, as I was saying. Dalton will be attending University of Missouri in a few weeks. As a matter of fact, we will be going up a week early. As a family. Exploring the town. Touring campus.”

“Da…. Father,” Dalton said as Lucas watched helplessly. “I’ve already told them I won’t be attending. We can’t just show up and expect—”

“I’ve spoken to the dean,” Mr. Churchill interrupted. He seemed to do a lot of that—interrupting. “I’ve arranged everything. Explained everything. Told him how you’ve been influenced”—he shot Lucas a look that made him so unsettled that for a second he thought he would lose his dinner—“and how you need to be away from it.”

It? Had Mr. Churchill just called him an “it”?

“Like some kind of drug.” The last dripping with disgust. “I told him that a man needs to get away from his childhood home, learn to be a man. The dean—the pussy—was not sympathetic with my feeling about your perversion—”

Again gasps, both from Dalton and Lucas.

What happened? wondered Lucas as he sat there, stunned. He felt like he was underwater.
