“Turn off the water!” Mason’s mother yelled from her room down the hall.

He was supposed to be brushing his teeth, but instead he had let the water run until it almost overflowed. He was never really sure what fascinated him about that, but seeing the little hole in the sink stop the overflow always amazed him. He’d heard her yell out again but he paid no attention and let the water run even more. Something changed that night. The bathroom door slowly opened behind him and he could almost feel the blood leaving his hand from gripping the toothbrush so tight. Fear blanketed over him like a rain cloud over a small city and the voice that followed crept up on him like distant thunder. He had never felt more afraid and defenseless, a feeling and a fear that he never forgot, along with the words, Son, it’s time for bed.

He quickly turned the water off, the screech from the faucet pulling him from his thoughts. I have to get out of here, he said to himself. At the very least out of this house, if not the hotel. He dried his hands on the towel hanging above the sink, stalling for a few minutes in the bathroom before he came out and walked right into Sydney and her parents putting on their coats.

“Are we going somewhere?” he asked, slightly confused.

“My mom actually made reservations for us tonight at some new restaurant downtown,” Sydney answered, handing him his coat.

Ruby was at the door waiting for Thurgood, who was upstairs changing his clothes. He started to make his way down the stairs as Mason began to put on his shoes and his coat.

“Mason, what is this about you two checking into a hotel?” he asked, walking down the steps.

Mason hoped the conversation wasn’t about to go where he thought it would. Before he could get a word out to answer, Thurgood cut in.

“We have plenty of room here,” he added. “Besides, it’s Christmas Eve. Tomorrow the house is going to be full of women with my other daughter and my granddaughters. I could use another man around here to talk to,” he laughed.
