    Summary

    “I didn’t realize you still took in strays,” Armand says, a little meanly. He can’t help himself. He feels untethered, a little out of control, like he often did in his youth. What he doesn’t say is: You didn’t tell me. You could have told me but you didn’t. Why didn’t you tell me?

    Marius either doesn’t notice or successfully ignores his biting tone. “Oh, yes. I took a break from fostering after the fire. I’m sure you can imagine it took some time to rebuild and get everything in order again. But a house like this isn’t meant to stay empty, and I can’t stand by and do nothing when I know there are children who need a place to stay, someone to take care of them.”

    When Marius has a fall and injures himself, Armand returns to his childhood home to take care of him. Upon his arrival, he finds that his father has started fostering again. But surely there is nothing to worry about.
