Egg the Halls

Outside, snow sifted down, a light fall of tiny flakes just caught in the darkness from the light through the window. Dom thought it was impressive Kiko had even gotten up today. Last night, after Dom had called Gordon and the police chief came over to gripe about hate crimes and having to open an actual investigation, Dom had taken Kiko home in his own car and sat him down at the table with a whiskey while unpacking the groceries. Gaby had put a movie on for her kids and cooked. Kiko hadn’t said much. He hadn’t slept well, either. Dom could tell he was having nightmares again.


“You okay?” he asked now, sliding into the breakfast nook across from Kiko, who gave him the edges of a smile.


“Of course. I was always going to outlive Mother.”


Dom didn’t say, “But not like this.” He glanced out the window at the snow. He’d have to drive Kiko in today. He also wanted to stick around. There were worse things to do with his time than help out around Yolks on You and make sure Kiko was fine.
