Roxanna started pulling out bags of vegetables and some chicken breasts, passing a knife to Jamie. "You get to chop carrots. Don't cut your finger off."
"Aye aye, Cap'n," Jamie said, pulling the carrots closer to him.
"I don't doubt it for a second," she said, trimming the fat from the chicken as she spoke. "My mom always says, she can forgive a lot of things. Being lied to isn't one of them."
"Your mother sounds very wise," Jamie said, tossing a bad bit of carrot into the trash. "But yes, Dad, seriously. Tell us when it's bad. You always told me to tell you when I couldn't handle things. Well now it's your turn."
