Elysia woke with a start to find the bed beside her empty. Flicking on the bedside lamp, she sat up and called out, "Tarquin?"
No response. He wasn't in the room.
Frowning slightly, Elysia felt a twinge of concern.
She knew he must have gone out to clear his head.
The matter of Elizabeth's ashes weighed heavily on them all. Even though she and the kids did bring warmth and comfort to him, it wasn't possible for the grief to have completely dissipated.
After all, Elizabeth was his beloved mother...
He didn't show it because he didn't want to worry her or the kids.
Sighing softly to herself, Elysia turned off the lamp and lay back down.
Everyone needs their space, and respecting that need without intrusion was paramount.
Some burdens had to be shouldered alone...
The next day.
Dawn was barely breaking when Tarquin received a call from Lowell.
"Tarquin, you won't believe this, but Verity's illegitimate son has been living in Karl Town!"
Tarquin's brow furrowed. "Are you sure?"
"Yes, absolutely. I've sent you the files. Take a look."
Karl Town was a well-known cultural hub abroad, a place filled with art and history.
It was where Tarquin and his mother, Elizabeth, had once lived!
It also turned out to be the base of operations for the mysterious figure Keith had been investigating!
And now, to hear that Verity's illegitimate son was also residing there was too much of a coincidence!
Initially, Tarquin hadn't taken the news of Verity's son too seriously. But this revelation made him sit up and take notice.
