An unknown number.
“Mrs. Margaret?”
“Yes?”
“My name is Thomas. Your son is with us.”
For a moment, I couldn’t breathe.
“WHERE IS HE? PLEASE, TELL ME WHERE MY DANIEL IS!”
The man hesitated.
“He’s safe. But there’s something I need to explain first. Your son has been refusing to go home.”
My heart nearly stopped.
“Why?”
“Because he believes you don’t want to see him anymore.”
I burst into tears.
“Please… please tell him I love him!”
“We have. But there’s something else. He brought a painting with him. And that painting is part of the reason I’m calling you today.”
