Rosemary's Gravy
“I looked up hoping to see Detective Drummond. No such luck. It was Pat and Antonio. I stood up.
“How is he?” Antonio said when they were still five or six feet away.
“I don’t know. They won’t let me go back because I’m not family and no one’s come out with an update. But, he was in pretty bad shape when they took him back.”
Pat gave me a look that made me think I definitely did smell like vomit. I forced myself not to look away.
“I’m sorry,” I said simply. For all his parenting ...mistakes, he was still Felix’s father. And I imagined his barely controlled rage was covering up a lot of fear and panic.
He didn’t bother to respond. Instead, he stalked off to bark at an admission desk nurse, who ran around to the open the door and take him back to see his son.
Antonio and I stood in awkward silence for a moment. Well, we were silent.MoreLess
