Norman:
The sadness had consumed me entirely. I had worked so hard all week to spend this time with my brothers like I always did. But now it was all ruined. Emmet and Kaye were barely present. I knew they were grown up now, but we were still committed to our time together--until Helanie arrived.
Once they brought her up, their moods changed.
Throwing my phone on the bed, I stood before the large mirror and began taking off my shirt. My eyes lingered on my abs and the prominent scar on the left side of my ribs. It had healed, but the scar remained. Some scars are left on our bodies to ensure we don't forget the tragic past. So every time I stripped naked and saw the scar, I was transported back in time.
But the ringing of my phone pulled me back to reality. I turned my head and stared at the screen.
