I've never felt so much tension in all my life and that's saying a lot coming from me. The few times my family sat down and ate together, there was little talking, little eye contact and not a trace of laughter. Much like right now. There's an eerie silence that surrounds the table and I have a strange feeling that someone is about to erupt, like Mount St. Helens.
The only sound that can be heard is the occasional clatter of silverware, mostly coming from the kids. CJ wedged himself between Asher and Katie on the opposite end of the table from Piti, but I catch him glancing her way from time to time.
She's picking at her food, only pretending to eat. The second he walked into the room, it was as if someone turned her switch off. She hasn't said a word or even looked
