After a few minutes, Marcus left the Palmer mansion. Peter sat in his chair, his mind a complete mess. He couldn’t understand how he had managed to stay stoic in such a situation. Deep down, he knew it was only a matter of time before everything blew up in his face. What he didn’t know yet was whether he’d be ready when it happened.

“Ethan’s fine. He’s already eaten and is watching cartoons. You know how he is–today’s his day off from homework.”

“Are you thinking of running away? You know Ethan has adapted so well to school–he even has a best friend.”
