I'm sneaking around behind my kid's back with his mother.
Christopher doesn't know?
I don't know what he knows. These kids sense things, right? The other day, I made her sneak out so he wouldn't see her there.
Trying to protect your kid. I mean, she ran out on him, right?
I ran out first. I ran out on both of them. See, when Christopher was first diagnosed I was in Afghanistan. Right at the end of my tour. Instead of going back home...I reenlisted. I told myself it was to pay the bills.
But you were running away, too.
Yeah. But I got to pretend like it was for a noble cause and serve my country. But when Shannon broke, nobody thought she was a hero. She just got called evil.
