Domnick's words halted the arguments forming in Tory's mind. He watched his step-brother exit from the family's scene of drama. And... that was the end of that.

Tory briefly glanced at his mother before becoming increasingly interested in the contents left on his plate. He was trying to work through the events that had just transpired; he wasn't particularly doing a great job of it. He clenched his fists tightly, Tory hated not knowing what to do or what was going on. It didn't help that some of his thoughts and questions made him feel uneasy.

Sara cleared her throat. She still was surprised at Tory's outburst. Of course he was getting older and those types of things were to be expected... but it almost seemed as if it was more than merely an adolescent outburst. Still, Tory didn't seem to be turning into the typical wild child. There was no reason to make a fuss.

"Why don't you go watch some TV?" she suggest with a slight smile.

Tory nodded. TV would indeed be a great distraction from the messed up evening. As he got up he mumbled, "Sorry."

An hour later, Tory wasn't distracted.
