It was Thursday before I finally left the office on time. I’d made plans to hang out with Sutton and her best friend, Annie, while David watched Jason. I knew it was important to spend time with my sister right now. She was only five months without her husband and still fragile.

I changed quickly at my apartment and made it over to Sutton’s house right on time. She trotted out of the house in an all black ensemble that would make Emery and Julia proud. Annie followed close behind in forest green pants and a black sweater. Her red hair swayed behind her. They both hopped in the car.

“Thanks for coming out with me,” Sutton said by way of greeting.

“Sut, of course! I’m glad we get to spend some time together.” I grinned at Annie in the rearview mirror. “Hey Annie.”

“Sup, Morgan.

“So what’s the plan?”

She sighed, and I suddenly noticed that she looked like she’d aged beyond her twenty-three years. I felt bad for noticing.

“Can we just go to a movie? I’d really like to be somewhere quiet without any responsibilities.”

“Sure.”

I pulled away from her house and started to drive to the local Alamo Drafthouse. I didn’t know what was playing, but it really didn’t matter.

We bought tickets for some obscure indie film that none of us had ever heard of. The theater was empty, and we picked seats in the very back.

As soon as we sat down, Annie’s phone started ringing. She groaned. “It’s Todd. I’ll be right back.

She disappeared back down the stairs. I arched an eyebrow at Sutton.

She waved her hand. “New guy. I don’t like him.”

“I see.”

“So, what’s been going on with you?” Sutton asked.

“Just work stuff.”

She raised an eyebrow. “I don’t think so. You seem off.”

“I’m here for you, and you’re the one interrogating me?” I asked a little defensively.

“What’s there for you to ask me? My husband is dead. I have an eighteen-month-old son who will grow up without his father. I’m pretty much the same.”

I winced at her harsh words and wished that I hadn’t. This anger, I knew, was part of her grieving. I couldn’t be upset that she was taking some of it out on me. For a while there, she’d hated the entire world. The fact that she was leaving the house, even for something as mundane as seeing a movie, was major progress.

“You’re right. I’m sorry.”

“Don’t apologize to me,” she said. “Just talk to me. I’m tired of being treated like I’m made of porcelain. Everyone tiptoes around me. I won’t break.”

“We don’t think that.”

She shot me a classic Wright look of indignation. It was so perfect, I actually laughed.

“What?” she gasped.

“You just…remind me of Jensen.”

She sighed and sat back heavily. “I don’t mean to act like this. I can’t control how angry I get at everything.”

“It’s okay. You can be mad at me. I’m used to that from you.” I laughed, and Sutton rolled her eyes. “I guess there is one thing I could ask.”

“Oh, great, here it goes,” Sutton said.
