Your father stumbles back into bed a couple of minutes later, pausing to crank the AC up a few notches before settling himself slowly back into bed. He glances over in your direction and you remain perfectly still, trusting on the gap between you, and your minuscule size, to hide the fact that your eyes are open. Satisfied that you're asleep, he pulls the covers up over his hairy chest and, within moments, settles back into his harsh, uneven snoring.
You spend a moment fishing around in your pocket for the crumpled scrap of toilet paper you'd stashed in it earlier -- no more than an ear off the full roll, in your hands it spreads out to the size of a paper towel. You slip the waistline of your jogging pants down to your knees and, eyes fixated on your mother's rising and falling chest, jerk one out with tears welling in your tired eyes.
