"I should have killed him when he was standing there crying in front of us," Lamar had been throwing a tantrum for the past few minutes while I just sat there, sighing tiredly. His anger was justified. The exhaustion was real, the desperation was clear. Jenny tried comforting Lamar for a while but he wouldn't listen.

"This is how Benita writes in her register," I recalled seeing her write things down while organizing her customers.
"But what if her son writes the same way?" Lamar still didn't believe in Kaidon's tears. I was skeptical too, but I wanted to believe that someone felt guilty.
