AtD translation: one of the boys throws me a look

[Mike Jing]

P672.36-673.3   “But I sold my anger too cheap, didn’t understand how
precious it was, how I was wasting it, letting it leak away, yelling at the
wrong people, May, the kids, swore each time I wouldn’t, never cared to
pray but started praying for that, knew I had to keep it under some lid,
save it at least for the damned owners, but then Lake sneaks off into town,
lies about it, one of the boys throws me a look, some days that’s all it
needs is a look, and I’m screamin again, and they’re that much further
away, and I don’t know how to call back any of it. . . .”

Would "one of the boys" be one of the co-workers? And who are "they" in
"and they’re that much further away"?
