Malcolm frowned as he made his way up the front walk of his and Seth’s home. The automatic outdoor light flicked on as he drew close. However, at night they always kept it on continuously until it was time for bed. More concerning was that he couldn’t see any interior lights on either. If it hadn’t been raining so damn hard all day, he might’ve thought Seth had gone out for a walk and simply not gotten back yet.

Malcolm unlocked the front door, then pushed it open with his shoulder. He had his laptop bag slung over his other shoulder and was wrestling with two bags of Greek food. He set down the food on the granite tile of the foyer so he could flick on a light. The first thing he noticed was Seth’s jacket on the hook and his Chucks on the mat. He removed his own boots then placed them next to Seth’s shoes.

After retrieving the food again, he headed to the kitchen, calling out to Seth as he made his way through the darkened house. The only light that was on was the hammered copper chandelier above the dining table. He decided to deposit the Greek food in the kitchen, then check the piles of mail he’d spotted next to the laptop he’d given Seth when he’d started his online courses.

When he rounded the corner that led to the kitchen, he’d half expected to see Seth in there reading with a snack. Malcolm had texted him an hour before warning him he’d be late and to grab something if he got too hungry.

Seth had never responded, so he’d assumed either the phone was off, or he was studying.

But the kitchen was as dark as the rest of the house, excluding the dining room. Malcolm told himself not to get worked up. Seth might be taking a nap, or perhaps reading in the bedroom. He deposited the food on the counter then let the laptop case slide off his shoulder. He’d worry about putting things away properly later. Seth came first.

As he passed the dining room, he ducked in his head. Malcolm noted how neatly stacked the mail was and that it’d been separated into piles already. He approached the table, also noting that one large envelope had been set aside from the others.

Malcolm plucked it from the table and his eyes widened when he saw where it was from. A smile grew on his lips but then he froze. The letter was addressed to Seth, but it’d been left unopened. He furrowed his brow. Why wouldn’t Seth have opened it? His birth certificate had to be inside and he’d been anxiously waiting for its arrival.

With the letter in tow, Malcolm hurried to the bedroom. Something had upset his boy and he was kicking himself for not being there for him. He knew it wasn’t realistic for him to be with Seth every hour of every day. Yet why had he been gone so
