Chapter 51: TWO SIDES TO ACE ATTICUS

Ace had found himself calling his mother last night, after dropping off Landon at his house.

Much as he tried, he couldn't get Sophie out of his head. The same haunting look she had, the twins had when they initially adopted them. Only difference was they were way younger than she was.

He thought himself above these petty human feelings. The only feelings that mattered were the ones that had to do with doing anything you possibly could to stay atop. 

Sophie put a temporal halt to that ideology. He called his mum, and they met.

He did wonder a little if she would come see him. But that was his mother, and she let him know to always call even when they were at odds, as soon as she came through.

He told her about Sophie, and her interest was piqued.

"Let's go see the child tomorrow," she simply said, and that settled everything.

"You can't just start a process like that without informing us."
