I walked in, sitting on Rowan's bed. "It's not your fault."
-
Marcus: "I really am sorry," I said quietly. "But I was desperate." I took in a deep breath. "Can I tell you something?"
-
She hesitated, afraid of what he might say. "Of course."
-
Marcus stared at his hands. "I left my family a while back...ten years ago, I think. Looking back, I think it would have been better for all of us if I had stayed. But I left behind my wife, my seven-year-old son, and my three-year-old daughter." He looked up at Perry. "My son...his name was Michael."
-
I looked up from her hands. I blinked slowly, nearly closing her eyes. Then I smiled. " What's your last name?"
-
"Howe" he said. "And I know what you're thinking. That's what I thought when he told me his name." Marcus stared out the window again. "I think he's my son."
-
"Oh my gods. He's... let me go bring him up here."
-
"Michael!" I called. "Now!"
-
Liz?
-
I set the timer for the enchiladas. "Coming." I called, starting up the stairs. What's going on?
-
I breathed in deeply. "You're- I mean, Marcus... Has something to tell you."
-
Marcus looked at me. "Michael James Howe," he said gravely. I frowned. "How do you-" My eyes widened. "No," I whispered. "You- you left us! You left us ten years ago!" Dad smiled wryly. "And my visit is long overdue. I take it you left Alessandra with your mum?" He didn't give me time to answer. "Of course you did. A thirteen year old girl would not have survived this long away from home."
I stared at him, shocked. "All this time...I- we- Mum- she thought you were dead." -
I sat, suddenly realizing how Michael felt when I yelled at- my parents! They probably thought I was dead. I ran downstairs and turned on the news, just as Missing Person Alerts were coming on.
-
Dad sighed. "I'm sorry, Michael. I did say I would be gone for a while."
"We didn't think it would ten years!" -
"For 3 months, Michael Howe and Perenelle _______ have been missing." She showed our pictures.
(What was my last name? Gtg)
