“You keep looking at my chair like it’s something you did to me,” Tyler said, tightening his small fingers around his grandfather’s hand. “But it isn’t.” Wild Bill’s eyes filled again. “I was supposed to protect you.” “You did protect me.” “Not that day.” “Yes, you did.” Tyler rolled closer until his wheelchair touched the…
