As Benton marched, stiff-necked, down the hall and his father, just as stiff-necked (metaphorically if not literally) made the ninety-degrees-to-everything turn into the Borderlands, she swore that when she was able to touch Bob again she was going to tear him a new one, first thing.

“Sad in a funny way” — thanks, that’s what I was aiming for. I’ve always imagined that shortly after Bob and Caroline disappear from Benton’s sight, she gave him a big kiss and then clouted him but good.
