His father looked down at his plate. “I’ll pick you up sooner if … if I need to.”
Conor set down his knife and fork. He didn’t feel like eating any more. Or maybe ever again.
“Hey,” his father said. “Remember what I said about needing you to be brave?
Well, now’s the time you’re going to have to do it, son.”
He nodded towards the sitting room. “I can see how much this is upsetting you.”
He gave a sad smile, which quickly disappeared. “So can your grandma.”
“I didn’t mean to,” Conor said, his heart starting to thump. “I don’t know what happened.”
“It’s okay,” his father said. Conor frowned. “It’s okay?”
“Don’t worry about it,” his father said, going back to his breakfast. “Worse things happen at sea.”
“What does that mean?” “It means we’re going to pretend like it never happened,” his father said, firmly,
“because other things are going on right now.”
“Other things like Mum?” His father sighed. “Finish your breakfast.”
