Chapter 6
Ron's the one to walk through the door first, though he pauses to give Bun—who's ignoring him for noodle-head on the TV—a strange look before heading for the bathroom.
"I'm taking a shower," he says, deliberately raising his voice a little.
The ungrateful and obsessed toddler shouts, "Bye!" as she scoots a little closer to the TV, her limbs waving in an uncoordinated attempt to follow the dance moves.
Ron shoots me an even stranger look, one I interpret as she used to love me before you came along and now you're corrupting her with this?, but I hope my telepathy with the older kid is on the fritz and I'm wrong.
"I'll heat up some leftovers—"
"I already ate," he calls over his shoulder as he disappears into the other bathroom.
Jer and Sara, meanwhile, don't even care about Ron, too busy peering out the window still.
"Is he coming in?" Jer stage whispers to his sister.
