us. Apart of him feels I am abandoning our family. "If you go to Dartmouth, I won't wait for you" he

"Who are you again?" perplexed, Derek asks Morris. "I am Meryl's former highschool boyfriend.
We have a twenty three year son named Brandon. Brandon has autism. Your sister, Amelia
performed Brandon's brain surgery. Christina gave us your house address" Morris reveals.
"Interesting" Derek responds nicely in attempt to hide his anger. "Damnit, Christina" I curse under
my breath. Brandon notices I am frustrated and embraces me. I feel a little bit better.
