    Summary

    He laughs, but it doesn’t explode out of him anymore. Ha ha ha ha! It used to fill the house, him and Steven the loudest of the four, crowing like beasts, Jeremiah cackling after them, Belly the eternal victim of their antics. Now it rumbles out of him, a low, surly chuckle.

    And so Laurel knows, long, long before it ever happens, when it begins to end.

    // Laurel, and what it’s like to watch the children you thought you’d raise alongside your best friend grow up.

    Summary

    When Conrad was young, his mother told him that someday, someone would make him feel fireworks.

    “When you do, Connie,” she’d said, “You hold them close. And you don’t let them go, no matter who tells you to.”

    “Is that what you did?” he’d asked.

    She’d smiled and smoothed his hair back behind his ear. “Not close enough.” Her eyes were kind. “But I know you won’t make the same mistake. You’re much braver than I am.”

    Just once, Conrad had seen his mother and Laurel dance around the kitchen in the summer house, long past the time when he was supposed to be asleep. He’d felt a flash of jealousy, watching them skip and swing and collapse into a puddle on the floor, laughing. Laurel had reached over and brushed a wayward strand of hair out of Susannah’s face. They breathed as though they were one, the set of each of their shoulders matching the other.

    He had looked away, feeling heat rise to his cheeks, and had run back up the stairs as quietly as he could. Like he’d seen something he wasn’t supposed to. Like he’d seen something he would understand far too well one day.
