Johnny had always been a talker. He'd always been affectionate. Nothing had ever really crushed him so badly, not since his divorce. As toxic as the marriage had become, he'd always loved Anna. And he had been scared of the effect it might have had on Alice, but she'd come out of it okay. She saw the silver lining in two parents with two houses and two lots of presents on birthdays and holidays. He envied her resilience.
When he came back out with an armful of towels he just dropped them onto the floor without a word. Wylie had always been the one to get away without saying anything, but Johnny wasn't going to let him this time. He wanted an explanation, he wanted to know what the fuck Wylie had been thinking. If Wylie wanted out, if he wanted this over, then he was going to have to work for it. He was going to have to say it.
