dynamics are kind of…” He couldn’t think of a polite way to dig himself out of the corner he’d stupidly shoved himself into.

Roger’s eyes lit with amusement. “Screwed up? Yeah, you could say that. But we’re not really involved in those parts of the dynamics, as you called them, any more. Maybe eventually Sev and Alma’s other siblings will get tired of catering to their parents’ demands.

One can only hope, because it’s a shitty way to live.” Sev asked the question Laine was wondering. “What happened? And what are you saying, that our parents wouldn’t let y’all have anything to do with us?” Roger looked at Alma, as did Sev and Laine. Her face tinted again. “Well, something like that. They didn’t know you kept in touch with us or the rest of our brothers and sister.

Then Rogelio said something a few months ago—you remember, you talked to him on the phone for a long time? He thinks you hung the moon, Sev. Anyway, we were at Mama and Papa’s for dinner, and Rogelio made a comment about watching some show about ghosts.

That set Mama and Papa off.” Alma darted an apologetic look at Sev. “Rogelio got mad and started defending you. They kind of went nuts.”

Roger shook his head. “There wasn’t no ‘kind of’ to it. Your mother can screech like a damned banshee. But what it came down to was a big family meeting where everyone was told in no uncertain terms were they to have any contact with you. To do so would mean being cut from the will, and anyone receiving any financial help before then would be on their own.”

Laine kept his expression bland even though he felt like driving to San Antonio and kicking Sev’s parents’ asses. And the rest of Sev’s siblings, too, if they were stupid enough to allow themselves to be manipulated.

“I’m sorry,” Sev whispered brokenly.

Laine forgot about his anger and took the drink holder from his partner. He handed it off to either Alma or roger, Laine didn’t pay attention who took it. “You’ve got no reason to be apologising,” Laine said clearly as he pulled Sev into his arms. “It’s not your fault your parents are the way they are.”

Alma stepped behind Sev and placed a hand on his shoulders. Her cheeks were streaked with tears. “No, baby brother, it isn’t. They’re hateful people, and they won’t ever change. That isn’t your fault. I’m just sorry we put up with it for so long.”

“Why did you?” Laine thought he knew, but he wanted to hear it.
