The late afternoon sun slants through the windows of the Utah house, painting the living room in amber stripes. Michael sprawls before the glowing television, Elizabeth’s voice rises in a fresh dispute, and C.C. crunches a snack at the table. Then the doorbell rings, a jarring sound that stills the room. William: I’ll get it. He walks to the door and pulls it open. On the step stand the people he cut ties with years ago—his father Oliver, his mother Sabrina, the siblings he left behind. His eyes widen, his body locking in place. They found him. Oliver: Well? Are you not going to let us in? The sense of entitlement is thick enough to taste.
