The family is sitting in stunned silence. Lou looks angry, Katie ready to cry. Aron is looking at her in concern.
Lily stands abruptly, walks silently around the table until she's standing in front of Katie. "I'm going to beat the shit out of him, okay?"
Abby stands, moves to join them. "And I'll help her."
Katie looks up at them, still ready to cry. "He's right." Whisper.
Abby. Fiercely. "He's an idiot."
Lily nods. "An idiot we're both going to slap the next time we see him."
Lou, trying not to smile. "No one's going to be hitting anyone, though I appreciate your protectiveness. And Lily, please watch your language at this table."
Camera ---> Dray, outside the door, holding his bread limply in his hand, his entire body shaking with suppressed sobs.
