WHO: Jamie and Thomas Kemp
WHAT: Phone calls from the testing centre
WHEN: Wednesday evening
WHERE: Their apartment
Thomas was poking at the vegetables he was stir-frying, though his head wasn't really in the cooking. He nearly forgot to add the curry paste, which would have made their dinner just a bunch of coconutty vegetables and rather bland at that.
While the sauce bubbled, Thoams tried not to worry about himself and his son. Jamie had just found out he had gotten into SVA and if that joy was about to be ruined by the news that he had Huntington's... Thomas couldn't even imagine it. But now that the initial joy over the SVA news had passed, it was basically all he could think about.
When the phone rang, it didn't exactly make him feel any more calm. He turned the stove down and then he answered, his stomach freezing when the caller identified herself as their geneticist and asked to speak to Jameson.
"Just-just a moment," he managed to say without his voice shaking. Jamie was 18 and that meant the results had to be given to him and not to Thomas. "Jamie!" Thomas called out, trying not to panic. "Jamie, the phone!"
