FISHER HOME, KITCHEN
Molly
blows softly on her tea. Her
breath skips across its surface, but the steam continues rising. She watches
the ripples and lets the steam warm her face.
"I don't know what to say," she says
quietly. "Every time I think about it ... every time I think in my mind
that Tim is gone ... it's like I'm hearing it for the first time."
"I know," Bill
agrees wearily. "I
was up all night, just lying in bed, hearing it over and over and over,
and trying to figure out how we can possibly ... be without him."
"I have no idea. I can't even imagine
... I can't even think of how this family could exist without him ..."
Bill wants to second the sentiment,
but it is all too much. He forces the lump down his throat and stares down
at his hands.
They both look up as footsteps enter
the kitchen slowly. Jason
casts a dark glance over at both of them before
continuing on to the refrigerator.
"How're you doing, Jay?" Bill asks.
Molly notices an exaggerated touch of strength in his voice now.
"Fine." Jason opens the refrigerator
and withdraws a can of soda. He turns to retrace his steps back up to his
room.
"Are you sure?" Bill calls after
him.
Jason grumbles a response, not exactly
positive or negative, and exits.
Bill and Molly share a look of concern,
acknowledging once again the devastation that has come upon the family.
