Henry's POV
Why correct yourself, Mr. Howard?
"Because you feel guilty and know it is your fault, or because you want to distance yourself from the whole situation?" I sneered amidst the cries of the kids.
Mr. Howard also had tears streaming down his face but eventually made a call.
"Why not hate the two children that actually killed your wife?"
I couldn't say if Laurens's 'drive back,' with which she clearly meant 'back' to the landing stage for the boats, had confused Steven into acting literally on her command or if he just made a mistake—but none of these three people were innocent.
ESPECIALLY AFTER BEING WARNED.
However.
"A bond of guilt." I broke into laughter.
He had distanced himself confidently from the 'accident,' in which he played the biggest part.
He physically stopped her when she wanted to stay home; it was him who came up with the boat suggestion, but he was absent in the end anyway, and he had the wrong priorities.
ALTHOUGH HE HAD BEEN WARNED.
