Quote #10
He closed his eyes. He couldn't look at her and say it. Even with his eyes closed, he felt like he was falling, like the horizon pitched, like his head tilted. Adam had the sick feeling that his father had managed to knock something crucial askew.
And then he said what he couldn't say before. He asked, "Can I… can I press charges?" (36.84-85)
Adam pressing charges against his dad isn't an easy choice to make—as soon as he does this, he'll never have a home with his family again. They weren't the best family (to put it lightly), but they're all the family that he had.
