“Paul and I had one umbrella between us, and we rushed through the rain to get to the tent.

"This is for family only," Billy's mother said.

We stood there in the rain for a minute, away from them, huddling under Paul's umbrella.. And I gritted my teeth.

"Paul," I said slowly. "Throw that umbrella away. We're gonna stand in the pouring rain, and we're gonna get as wet as God wants us to get."

I paused.

"And then we're gonna hug every member of that family, so they know what they did to us. SO they can *feel* what they did to us. All of us. Because they are assholes.”
