Dexter and the doctor came out together. The doctor was saying a few things to him, and Dexter looked pretty happy. He came over to me and held my hand. "
His fingers were a little cool. His grip made my heart settle in my chest. "Is there something bothering you?"
He could always see through me. I shook my head. "No, I'm fine. Let's go home."

"Mr. and Mrs. Black, Mr. Martin has organized a family gathering, saying that it's an annual affair for the Black family. You two have to attend," Ewan said.
Dexter looked impatient. "What a nuisance."
It had occurred to me that Martin would find an opportunity to aggravate Dexter.
