As they walked down the hill with their father leading the way, Thomas and James walked alongside each other right behind him.
“He hasn’t spoken to me since we got back,” Thomas said. “No more than three words, anyway.”
“You did the right thing, Thomas,” James said.
“Do you think so?”
“Yes,” James said. “The way you explain it, I would have done the same thing. That man will suffer the rest of his life now, and then he’ll burn in Hell afterward. It’s what he deserves.”
“Pa don’t see it that way,” Thomas said. “He still wants him dead.”
“Pa can’t get to him while he’s in prison,” James said. “Don’t worry, he’ll come around. Pa will forgive you, Thomas. You’ll see.”
“I don’t know, James,” Thomas said. “I don’t know if he ever will.”
They left Epitaph right after the burial, straight from the cemetery. None of them knew where they were going, all they knew was that they were leaving Epitaph.
