I had to awkwardly stand in the living room with Lord Vasquez, Helel, and Akin. Vasquez had been rubbing his face in his hands and sighing nonstop while we stood around him and waited for him to open up to us. Whatever they talked about had deeply unsettled my mother.

"Dad! Why were you with Flynn's mother?" Helel finally broke the silence and questioned his father.

"I don't know how to tell you all why I was with her," Vasquez sighed, closing his eyes and thinking he could hide. from reality by simply shutting his eyes.
