Chapter 11 - NOAH’S DRAWINGNoah was four.

No detailed forensic narrative was expected from him.
His therapist later asked him to draw the kitchen.
He drew:
A square table.
A green circle for me because green was my favorite color.
Two tiny circles for himself and Mia.
A tall black figure for Ethan.
A red figure for Kelsey.
Then a huge silver line.
“The spoon.”
The therapist asked:
“Where is Daddy?”
Noah pointed to the black figure.
“Watching.”
Not:
helping.
Not:
hitting.

Watching.
That became the role Ethan would struggle hardest to explain.
