Rueben has simply adjusted to his father's condition.... his weight loss and sickly appearance.
Skinny didn’t say it. His very bones seemed loose-joined. And instead of being concerned about this, I'd simply gone and adjusted to it. Once he popped out of bed I just figured he was his old self, and if he looked a little more gristly than before, why, wasn’t gristle what a man wanted anyway?
