Chapter 9 - Arthur Tells the Uncomfortable Truth

review after recognizing my old address.

“My past is not a security threat.”
“No.”
“Then why investigate?”
His composure cracked.
“Because you wake up from nightmares and refuse to tell me his name.”
The room went still.
“I saw the address. I wondered if it was him.”
“You should have asked me.”
“Yes.”
He had crossed a boundary.
Love did not make that boundary meaningless.
