Entonces Dean entró en el marco.
“No voy, hombre”.
Daniel levantó la vista del equipo.
“¿Qué quieres decir con que no vas?”
Sophie and I stared at each other because neither of us had ever known Dean was supposed to join them. During six years of grieving beside me, he had never once mentioned that Daniel had invited him on the fishing trip.
On the video, Dean explained that his girlfriend had left him three months earlier and that spending a weekend fishing wasn’t going to fix anything. Daniel disagreed, telling his brother that sitting alone wouldn’t help either, before encouraging him one more time to come with them.
When Dean refused again, Daniel picked up another life jacket and checked its buckle. Then he said something that made my entire body go cold.
“Kids don’t remember every expensive thing you buy them, Dean. They remember whether you came back.”
