Give your husband a second, because his mother is always like a rock to the head it feels like. He will right himself in a second. Is she going into hiding? And chastising him? )
[He'll give him that time. He'll sit there with his smoothie in comfortable married silence and wait for Ezra to be ready to talk, because when it comes to Logan it's best to give him time and quiet to process.]

Now is probably not that time.]

( Which is a far cry from other mothers, he knows. )

She turns a goodbye into an entire dressing down.
