““They outed him,” Dad says, voice small. “Do you know what happens when you out someone? Sometimes their parents abandon them.”
“Probably what they were banking on,” Papaw says gruffly.
Nobody fights him on that, but it is what makes it click for Mamaw. This was a violation. This was something taken from me. She don’t need to get it; she needs to be kind.”

“A state trooper, all dark green and metal badges.
I stick my fingers in my mouth and whistle.
The crowd goes quiet. Papaw is still putting up a tent, so it’s Mamaw that picks up his shotgun.”

“The fire almost reached the church. The cop cars were positioned in just a way that the volunteer fire department - what little we have - couldn’t get close enough until the fire truck mowed down the offending vehicle like roadkill.”
This would be less sad if it weren’t something I could 100% absolutely see happening.

“Terry takes one last drink of his water and sighs into the rim of his glass. Then he hands the glass to Amber.
“What’s the best way out of here?” Mom is asking Michael.
“Through the kitchen,” Michael says. “Into the alley.”
Amber throws the water in Sheriff Davies’s face.

“What’s that say on your shirt? All cops are bastards?” It’s baby pink, decorated with angelic cats and daisies; I hadn’t noticed the words until he said them out loud. “Where’s your sense of respect, Mrs. Foster?”
Amber don’t back down. “Respect is earned, not given, officer.”

“What?”
“If you think you are,” Dallas says, “you probably are.”
