    Summary

    Peter had always known they weren’t well off.

    He wasn’t stupid, even when he was small. He knew that May clipped coupons, that she hesitated before putting name brands in the cart, that sometimes the milk was watered down just a little bit more than it had been the week before. He knew that when other kids at school talked about vacations or “just ordering food,” it wasn’t something he could casually chime in about.

    But knowing was different than sitting at the kitchen table, shoulders hunched over a stack of envelopes with big red letters screaming OVERDUE across the front.
