He had to take care of his mom and his sisters, and he wasn't leaving until he thought they were okay. He had no idea when that would be.
Being around his father had been awkward at first, and then nice, and then not. He'd discovered things about that man that he had never wanted to know. Things he'd be happier not knowing.

He tossed and turned for a long time, before reaching for his cell phone. He hadn't known what to say to Anna when they last spoke. He still didn't. All he wanted was to hold her and shut all the rest out, but he couldn't, so he would try the talking thing again.
He hit her number on his speed dial and waited as it rang.
