Lyric

Beckham didn’t find me again until the following day. Somehow he managed to get my cell number and call me, asking to meet up at the library. I agreed but only because it was a nice public place and I couldn’t avoid him forever.

For one, I still had his Rover.

I knew before I saw him that he’d walked into the building. My senses prickled and my head snapped up, locking eyes with Beckham. He looked normal again. No more crazy-eyed lunatic shouting at me to get away from him. He seemed the same guy who’d tried to charm me at the diner but I didn’t know which version of Beckham was the real deal.

He took a seat opposite me at the study table and started off with an curt apology.

“I forgot my medication back at the motel and it was my mistake. I apologize for scaring you. It won’t happen again.”

“You didn’t scare me,” I returned, reaching for my coffee to take a sip. I was controlling my urge to give him a piece of mind. I wanted to give him a chance to explain himself before I went nuclear. I hit him with a level stare, clarifying, “You pissed me off. There’s a difference.”

“Yeah, I suppose there is. Either way, I’m sorry. I know you don’t know me but I don’t usually find myself in the position to apologize this many times.”

That, oddly, I believed. “So do you want to level with me and tell me what was actually happening yesterday?”

Clearly by his expression, that was not on his list of desirable options but when he realized I wasn't going to let it go, he relented. "Look, to be honest, I don’t know what happened. I don't understand what is happening to myself much less you. All I can do is apologize and promise that it won’t happen again.”

“How do you know? What if—”

“I told you I have a condition I take medication for,” he cut me off, shifting with discomfort. “I forgot my meds and well, something happened.”

“That would’ve been more convincing if you hadn’t specifically implied that I was part of the problem so if I'm part of the problem don't you think it's only fair to me to tell me what I did?”

“You can’t just let this go?”

My silence was his answer. He ground his jaw but after a long tense moment he sighed and came clean. “All right, I know this is gonna sound crazy and trust me my head is still spinning over this newest development as well but it would seem that we have some kind of connection.”

“Yeah, I’ve noticed that," I agreed, peering at him with questions. "So what does that mean? Do you think were like brother and sister or something, maybe an uncle? Are we connected like that? I mean like you said, I am adopted. Could you be my brother? Oh God, hopefully not my father."

Particularly when I had un-daughterly thoughts about that physique. Gahhh, the horror if it turned out we were related!

Beckham looked as repulsed by the idea as I was.
