“No, I won’t like it.” Arthur rose from his chair and stood beside it trembling, scowling at her. “I won’t like it at all. I’ll hate it.”

“You can’t know that ’til you’ve been there,” Ophelia pointed out. “Don’t you at least want to go and find out what it’s like?”

“No.” Arthur shook his head so hard his blond curls bounced. “I don’t want to go anywhere. I know Papa says we’re not supposed to argue with you—at least not until after you’re better—and that I should be a good boy and do whatever you tell me and not give you any cause to worry again, but I don’t care. This is my home now. Papa said so. He wants us to stay.”

“I’ve no doubt he said so, Arthur, and I don’t blame you for believing him. I’m sure he believes himself that he wants you to stay—for now. But—”

“He wants us both to stay. He wants us to be real a family.”

“He doesn’t.”

“He does too. He said he does. And I want that too. I won’t go.”

“Let me tell you something about your papa…” Ophelia began, her voice trailing away as Arthur’s words registered in her mind. She blinked in surprise, too startled to stop Arthur from running from the room. Had Dario really said all that?
