Albert Ramsy sat in his study, and the late evening light illuminated the room through the tall windows. A letter from the hospital lay open on his desk. He had already read it twice. Darcy Edwood had made a request; he wanted to know his biological parents.
Albert leaned back in his leather chair, his fingers tapping on the desk. He wasn't surprised. The boy was logical, calculating, and looking at everything objectively. That was something Albert had discovered long ago when he began investigating his life thoroughly.
Darcy was the opposite of Micah in every sense. Where Micah acted on emotion, Darcy moved on obligation and purpose. He never wasted his time on trivialities. No late-night parties, no smoking, no karaoke or bars. No alcohol, nor mingling with the wrong crowd. His life had been nothing but study and work from the age of thirteen. He was a boy who built himself into something useful, dependable. Even he could influence Micah's life choices too.
