[Roman isn't the only one. There are still mornings when he wakes up, expecting it all to vanish like the cobwebs of just another bad dream. That he'll check his phone and they'll be some inane but sweet message from Letha that will make him smile and shake his head all at once.
That casual bullshit has its calculated effect, and watching Roman smile brings one to Peter's face. They're together, and that means something. Even when it all feels like shit he can't outrun, there's still... whatever this is.]
Yeah, I know.
[Peter knows Roman would buy him things without thinking, but it's not how Peter lives. Even if stealing in this town is risky when no matter the lies that got told, people don't entirely trust the Rumanceks. They're still gypsies after all.]
You should stay over. Lynda's in one of her cooking moods.
[Truth be told, she had been since Letha's death. As if enough good food could help ease the heartache she saw in the two boys.]
