"Dennis said Mum did. He said we weren't supposed to do adult touching. The only thing is, that I don't remember her saying anything about it. I think I was doing something with my camera. So if she said anything, I just don't remember it." He let out a weak, mostly hollow laugh. "Zach kept talking about towers and stairs and I was so confused. It's never really made sense. Not even doing it has made it make sense. You'd think it would. I only even realized I could love someone like Mum loves Dad. Now there's two and it's just...none of it makes sense."
He looked at her quietly for a moment, one arm wrapped around the back of his legs. "I know she can't," he said mournfully. Oh, but he wished she could. He wanted the most important decision that he had to make to be what to eat for breakfast. "She always made things make more sense, though."
