Riley's whole being stiffened when Remington said whatever, it hurt him on a level his brother obviously could not understand. He just wanted to talk to him, ask his advice but there was nothing he could say without feeling like a piece of crap so all they could talk about was Mara..and some work.
"You're welcome." he said with a smile and watched as Mara ate all her potatoes first and then frowned at the rest of her plate. "Um I guess we have been here since...well geez I don't, September?" He wasn't sure but he did remember the Halloween dance. "But a couple months ago I had to go take care of Charlie and I was gone for a those months." Riley went back to eating when Mara announced mommy was sick.
