103 Fallen But Hopeful
~Leo~
We spent the entire day preparing to leave. After breakfast, Sylvester retired to the room, and we did not see him and Tamia until lunch.
I would lie if I said I wasn't nervous about what would happen in the North.
I just wanted it to be over so we could live our lives. Knowing that I would be a father soon motivated me to do more.
We decided to gather at the lounge in the evening to relax and discuss the following events. At the same time, Amelia chose to party with the women.
On my way to the lounge, my father linked me, telling me he had something urgent to discuss with me. I had to see him before heading there.
He was in a small living room with Grey Sullivan. I wondered where my mother and Rebecca were.
"Just the two of you?" I asked, entering the living room, and he nodded.
"Amelia invited Martha and Rebecca to hang with the ladies. They deserve to be around younger women for a change," My father said, laughing, and I nodded in agreement.
One thing I was sure of was that the women would have a blast. Everyone there knew how to have a good time, even in hard times.
"Please have a seat, Leo," my father said, and I sat on a single couch to listen to what he had to say.
"Grey has something to tell you. It might not mean much, but I implore you to listen and convey it to your friends," He said, and I frowned at him and looked at Grey, who was slightly nervous.
"I know you do not trust me and my wife, and that is why we kept this from all of you this morning, but we have now confirmed it as true," he said, and I became nervous.
