Mom covered her mouth.
“They were going to take the house.”
“No,” I said.
I looked directly at Gregory.
“They were going to make my parents sign away control of a house they don’t own.”
Gregory’s jaw tightened.
“You’re making this sound criminal.”
Claire looked at him.
“Forgery of a signature on a property document can have serious legal consequences.”
Silence filled the room.
Fiona suddenly started crying.
“Lucas, please.”
I looked at my sister.
“You watched Dad get threatened.”
She wiped her face.
“I didn’t think Gregory would actually do it.”
“You stood there and laughed.”
“I was scared!”
“So was Dad.”
She looked toward our father.
Dad was still standing beside the box of his belongings.
His hands had stopped shaking.
“Fiona,” he said.
