I can't quite put my finger on it. They were so close, is this Gale coming to terms with her death? Still, unease creeps over me as I watch him. He just stares past me at something I can't see. Then one day, as I butter his toast for breakfast, my son tells me something that stops me in my tracks. 'I know who killed Layla.' I can barely get the words out to ask how.
