Howard was still standing.

The judge looked at him again.

“Did anyone help you put this together?” he asked.

“No, I just wrote what happened,” Howard said.

“Why?”

Howard shrugged slightly. “Because I needed a way to deal with how their fighting made me feel. My guidance counselor at school told me to draw my feelings.”

“No, I just wrote what happened.”

The judge nodded once.

“You can sit down now.”

Howard walked back to his seat. I turned, tears welling up in my eyes, reached for his hand, and held it.
