“Go ahead. We’ll be fine. Won’t we, Thaddeus?”

Tad offered a small smile. “Why do you call me that, Mr. Tom?”

“That’s what your daddy called you when he told me he had a son and how very proud he was to be your daddy.”

“Are you aware that Tad and Becca aren’t home?”

“They’re here.”

“Is…is Tom Weber there as well?”

“He is.”

“Send Tad and Becca home at once before that mancorrupts them!”

“Not until you tell me why my father struck our son.”
