Chapter 4

Cam laughed again but only just a chuckle.“No,man.It’s cool.”

“Well,I’ve met your sister.Oh,and your aunt came by at Christmas.You all have a really strong family resemblance.I just assumed your whole family was dark complected.”

“Dad’s the only white person in our entire family.My sister has some pretty awesome wavy hair,but that’s the only genetic contribution we’ve seen.Maybe my kids will have green eyes.That would be cool.”

“Where’s your mom?”

Cam’s posture stiffened and he began fiddling with a train car that sat atop his dresser.“She’s around.Still in town.She moved out last year.”

“Sorry,man.I didn’t know,”Nolan said.“I think you said something about them being split up,but I didn’t think it was,like,a big thing.”

“Yeah,I just don’t talk about shit like that,really.”

“It really isn’t that big a deal.Divorce is pretty common.Not any of my business anyway.Your dad seems awesome.”
