Which is why I don't read in bed. I have enough trouble getting to sleep. *g*

"What did you expect?" Nathan says. "And you're not destitute; I'll pay your rent for the first six months. At least until you get on your feet."
Peter shakes his head. "That's not what I had in mind," he says. He doesn't know what he had in mind. In truth, he did expect his father to cut him off and he'd convinced himself he would live by independent means as a young man of his age should. Of course, now that he's faced with the prospect he realizes he doesn't know the first thing about surviving without his parents.
"Peter -." Heidi looks from Nathan to Peter. "We want to."
"Trust me," Nathan says. "He expects it. He doesn't want an orderly for a son, but he doesn't want you living on the streets either. He wouldn't cut you loose if he didn't think I'd pick up the slack."
Peter thinks it sounded nicer the way Heidi said it. "All the same," Peter says. "It's temporary." He feels like a parrot.
Yes, that is exactly how it would have ( ... )
