In this dark place
And let my family
Never find me.
Um. Moooooooore of this! Please.
“This place is like a prison,” she complained.
Stay feisty, girl!
“My taco spicy,” Kaleb whined.
“You want a peanut-butter sandwich?” Allison asked, concerned. Kaleb was still skinny for two-and-a-half. She couldn’t have him not eating.
“No!” he exclaimed in a sudden show of temper, shoving his covered cup onto the floor.
Allison glanced at Adam, who was picking at his own enchilada and had yet to even glance up. That’s when Alli figured she was on her own.
“Well, are you done then? Because we don’t throw anything on the floor,” she warned quietly.
“My Daddy say yes!” Kaleb insisted, rebelliously.
Aw, Little Bird! I'm liking Mama Alli! Subdued Adam makes me sad.
“I feel like that sometimes,” Jesse confided to Adam in the empty kitchen. “Like, just that crazy and bad, and nothing anybody says helps.”
He knelt down to pick up the cup Kaleb threw.
“I feel like that, too,” Adam said, his voice hoarse.
Love Jesse & Adam together! Aw Adam! :(
Kris and Katy were sitting by each other on the couch, not touching. Kaleb was in Katy’s lap, and Adam was sitting across from them. Kris looked really pale and had bruises all over him. Katy’s face had a big bruise on it, too. But their eyes were still the same. They still lit up when they saw Jesse.
I expect that the sight of battered parents is going to catch up with Jesse eventually. :(
He held Jesse’s hand tentatively, and thought about what would have to be done to keep them safe. Changing the locks. Maybe moving.
Kris closed his eyes, defeated.
Things weren’t any better now. He was just in a bigger cage.
Krissssssssssss! :(

That's my favorite part of all of this. How incredibly feisty she always is. Subdued Katy is awful.
I know, pobre Pajarito. (Oh, jeez, Alli's totally got to call him that now! That's brilliant.) I love her, too. Haven't seen her mothering side much with Kaleb and it's interesting. Subdued Adam is sadness.
Jesse and Adam are the best!
Ooh, good call. True.
I know, come on, buddy. It's okay... <3
