Audrey, walking a few paces ahead of us. She had taken it upon herself to supervise as Jake and Freddy went to each door, making sure they were polite, and I found it both endearing and somehow incredibly attractive that she had asserted herself like that with my brother. Our mother acted out in anger so often, while our father looked at him as a stranger, but Audrey wasn’t like them. Hell, she wasn’t like most people, was she?
