“I miss Chris,” Denny exclaims, adding a plate to the table before dinner. “When is he coming home?”
Hen looks to Karen who shrugs apologetically.
“I don't actually know,” Hen replies, holding back a sigh. “His dad doesn't really talk about it.”
“He misses him though?” Denny asks.
“Yes, very much.” Hen thinks how she would feel not having Denny living with them. She aches enough without Mara. “You could post a letter to Texas, show that you're thinking of him?”
“Mama! Nobody uses letters anymore!”
Karen stifles a laugh.
“Penpals used to be fun!” Hen explains.
“I'll text him!”
