Summary
“Wait, where’s my other daddy?” Aamal turns to Jon, and he’s struck by the worst urge to look away. “Will he be back soon?”
Jon meets her hopeful eyes, and for the first time in years, actually feels the wound yawning wide in his chest, deeper and bloodier than the scar through his heart ever was.
“No,” he says, very softly. Aamal’s face falls, her brows drawn in question. Jon can’t look at her. He stares at his good hand, knuckles yellowed by his grip on the edge of the counter. “He, uh.” He swallows. It goes down like rocks. “He’s not coming back.”
“Why?” Her voice skews high, pinched with a note of anger. Unbidden, Jon chokes out a small, miserable laugh. She sounds just like Martin.
“Because,” he says, raw, both hands shaking now, “I messed up very, very badly.”
Or,On the eve of the Unknowing, Jon and Martin found comfort in each others’ arms. Ten years later, the daughter they left behind finds them Somewhere Else.
