Avoiding Parker and his knowing gaze for the rest of the morning—an absolute necessity—proved to be easy. After coffee, Sacha took Parker to go find some new clothes to replace the ones that went up in flames with the marina. Seth spent the morning researching Theodore Garrison and Owen Penn. Owen proved to be elusive, although there was a Penn family that had lived in eastern Washington that might fit. For Theodore, the likeliest candidate seemed to be Theodore Garrison, Emeritus Professor of English at the large state university in Seattle.

The problem was—in Seth’s mind, anyway—Theodore was too young, his birth year recorded on the university website as 1922. Seth stared at the picture of the two men. It was impossible to tell their ages. The men in the picture could be anywhere from fifteen to thirty. They wore cocky grins like they had a secret. Or Seth could be projecting.

The grainy quality of the black-and-white photograph didn’t help. He stared at it for several minutes, until it swam out of focus, before sliding it back on top of the stack of documents. The postcards were no help, and the letters’ handwriting was too faded and spidery to read. Dammit. He knew the biggest clue was the battered book of poetry with the dedication on the title page. The words seemed bittersweet. Where had Theodore gone that he could only hope?

Sighing, Seth stretched, his shoulders and back popping from sitting too long at the table. Where were Sacha and Parker? It couldn’t possibly take this long to decide on clothing. In any case, he had clients to keep happy and an anemic bank account to bolster.

Sacha and Parker returned as he was headed out the door. They were in the middle of an argument. Seth couldn’t tell what it was about; he thought it was mostly that Parker liked to argue with whatever Sacha said, and Sacha had the whole bossy, in-control thing going on. Seth was glad for the excuse to leave them to it, because he suspected whatever was happening between Sacha and him pushed up against a personal boundary. One he wasn’t sure he was ever going to be prepared to move across.
