Mm… I suppose it does, at least in my experience. [ Llewellyn frowned lightly at the memory. ] Given the times, I suppose he did with reason… But it was frustrating, and in hindsight I suppose I was more desperate to make it work than end up on my own again or take a chance on other things. [ Then again, he’d only gotten over Jack and accepted Milo’s advances to discover the man didn’t really want a serious relationship. ]

He did not. But… [ Llewellyn sighed, rubbing the side of his face. ] The damage had already been done before I found out who really killed her. All evidence had pointed to Jack, and his behavior kept… Shifting on the subject. It was hard to believe him after a while… So things didn’t end well between us. He ended up skipping town with his stepson in tow, and I only found out after the child’s grandparents came in to inform us of what happened. [ So there had been no warning, no goodbye. Llewellyn couldn’t blame him for that much, but it had made him look even more guilty. ]

The real murderer was the child’s birth father, who was upset with her for letting someone like Jack raise his son. He was… a rather horrible piece of work. I learned firsthand on that front.
