I'm curious, are Bro and Dave alone out there, or is there anyone else they interact with regularly?
You were always so careful when it came to her, she always seemed so delicate in your eyes that you were afraid if you moved too quickly or roughly you could break her. So you always stayed so still so damn still.
That time was no different as you held out your hand, palm up, at her request and she placed something in the middle of it. You stare at her hands before looking up to her face and seeing a grim determination set on her soft features.
It was wrong. So so wrong.
When she opened her mouth you gave her all your attention.
"If you're serious about leaving… use this to find my son." And her grim determination slowly turned into such a deep sadness you wanted to do nothing more than to wrap your arms around her and squeeze. But you didn't move other than to nod your head. She smiled at that, it didn't reach her eyes.
Your path was set. You would leave. You would take Dave and find Jane's son.
She used her hands to make yours curl around the object in your hand. And that was that. You never saw her again after that moment as you had to plan your next move carefully.
You've been regularly dropping Dave off at this house at night and picking him up again in the morning since finding Egbert's home all those years ago. You avoid going inside as much as possible.
