We’d lived just the two of us since Dad left five years ago, and the way she was talking reminded me of that day five years ago. When I was sleeping, Dad and Mom got in the biggest fight they ever had. They never had loud fights. Tc The next morning, Dad was gone, and I could tell that he wasn’t coming...
