The commercial blasted from the television, a perky voice advertising “Captain Carl’s Famous Clam Chowder.” Michael froze, his spoon halfway to his mouth. That was the recipe his father had taught him, the one he christened "Michael's Maritime Chowder."

He kicked the coffee table, a useless act that did nothing to quell the seething turmoil within.
