Frank prided himself that he did not crumple. He leaned into the counter and scowled at the food, and then frowned at Nina as she crossed to the window. She had every right to be upset with him, but that didn't make it easier to deal with.
In the second it took to look up from the counter, there was that flash. He was far away for a moment. Neither Guy nor Nina was there in the apartment with him. Frank gripped the edge of the counter, grounding himself, waiting for it to pass, waiting for Nina to be Nina and not his wife with her blown away face, and waiting for Guy to Guy and not Billy with all thee decimation Frank had wrought on him.
