It was childish to reply this way to a reasonable observation. “Mom, there’s no plot.” And after her hesitation, “It’s not a value statement.” “It doesn’t matter.” It’s not what she asked him for. “It’s a choice you’ve made here and I want to understand it is all.” She thought the point of having a child and raising them warmly and patiently but not by way of smothering was that there could be unspoken communication between them, but what the hell. “I want you to ignore what you expected, and tell me about what you’ve actually read. Don’t mind the gaps. Take the plunge. You know, et cetera.” “OK. Yeah. Let me read it again.”
