This is an error, Walter thinks as he observes the Dineen-Baker family reunion: Drew bent toward Ralph, animated and voluble; Paige hovering, her chair pushed close beside her son's. Ralph says little, gravely studying his father, but as the conversation protracts he slouches in his seat to lean his head against its crest rail. Walter doesn't need Toby to interpret that behavioral cue; his own body, propped on the car door, abruptly reminds him of every surface against which it braced while the world was spinning out of his control.

An error, but not one he can correct. Not now.
