The Coopers were having dinner as they usually do on a Monday evening. Paige was sitting next to Missy, and on the other side sat Mary. And in front of Paige sat Sheldon. Paige studied him as his brow furrowed in concentration as he carefully dissected a piece of chicken, each bite measured and analyzed. She didn't want to admit to it.
