How had he missed this?
Granted, the others had looked equally shocked at the revelation, but he should have spotted it, he was his dad. He was meant to protect him from the blame that he'd obviously been shouldering on his own, but he'd missed it because he'd locked himself away.
But no more!
Opening the door to the room Virgil had fled to, Jeff immediately spotted him crumpled on his bed and sobbing his heart out.
Reassurance this was not his fault would come. Firstly though, Virgil needed something only he could offer… The unconditional love of a father!
