Day Seventy-Four…
~~*****~~
As the tears subsided and his cries softened into quiet sniffles, Ethan buried his face against Jane's chest. He didn't know how he would face Nathan. The young boy still believed that he was not Nathan's biological son.
"Son, you made us worried sick. Don't run away from us ever again," Nathan said in his firm yet gentle voice.
"I-I'm sorry… D-Dad," Ethan apologized as he sniffled.
Nathan stroked the young boy's head, comforting him. "We need to talk, son."
Ethan could only bob his head in obedience. Jane guided him to stand up.
"Let's go home first. We have a lot of things to discuss in order to clear the misunderstandings," Jane mumbled meaningfully.
Nathan and Jane held Ethan's hands, side by side as they proceeded to the parking area. Jane could no longer wait to fix things between the father and son duo.
