He gave Raylan a mock-suspicious look. "How did you know I went to private schools? Profiling is supposed to be my thing," he teased.
He had, in fact, also gone to boarding school for a couple of years, when he started high school. His mother had thought that, if he got away from the house and the family and the daily reminders, maybe he'd stop seeing his father. The problem was, the daily reminders were inside his head and they always would be. After Vijay stopped hanging around with him, he'd fit in less and less there until his mother pulled the plug on that experiment and decided he could at least do with the chance to get into a prestigious college and put him in the most academically stringent private school in New York. He'd always done well with academics. Socialization less so.
"But yes. It put us both through private schools. And various extracurriculars. And prestige colleges."
He took a bite of soup.
"Though, to her credit, my mother has gone from despairing of my career choice daily to only weekly or even biweekly."
