What about this one that the powers that be hid from them until they were old enough to read about it for themselves., they decided to regress to age before their father disappeared. They needed answers and in turn, they couldn’t provide solace to anyone else if we can't find solace within ourselves.
There was a second article written a couple of days after our father reached the town, he left us with an unnamed relative to go ask Renee’s parents for permission to marry her. Noah was a traditional man after all. Renee’s parents were stuck in their conformist ways and they found it quite alarming that their daughter would be practicing Wicca, a religion dedicated to light, nature, and peace, not the devil-worshiping her parents believed it to be.
The articles that mentioned their family only mentioned one set of grandparents because Renee’s parents disowned her and by extension, they disowned her children too. The article went on to state that after that confrontation with her parents, the couple was sideswiped by a farmer who was just selling his daily goods to the local merchant. The driver had been awake for three days and his goal was to get back to his family as quickly as possible.
The truck concluded with Noah’s 1999 Corvette in which Noah suffered a shoulder injury and minor memory loss while Renee suffered minor counterions and a fractured leg Nothing that wouldn’t have been difficult to heal from in a couple of months to heal. Noah should have let the doctors check him out more thoroughly because he had the beginnings of a brain bleed.
More than a worry passed through his body about Renee, she climbed into his car and said. “Noah tonight, all I want you to do is drive”. “We’ll just talk tomorrow”. Renee seemed to telegraph his thoughts without him saying a word. Noah spoke in between silences.” I know you need to process what just happened with your parents.”..Do you want me just to go”. Noah said passively.
“I don’t know what I could say that hasn’t been said or yelled at them before”. Renee justified.
“You have to drive Ren, I feel dizzy”. Noah said
“Are we going to the hospital or the hotel?”. Renee asked him knowing the answer she would have preferred, but knowing that he was where he would want to go. She drove them to the hotel and made sure that there was a concierge doctor in their room.
“I see why you’d be concerned, but I’m not seeing anything, but a minor concussion”. The doctor began to explain
“For now, keep him conscious, watch for nausea and slurred speech”. Penelope said out loud.
“What was that?’ Patrick inquired
“I don’t know what it is_Dad had some kind of seizure from an accident five years ago:”.
“Wow”. Patrick said
“What wow?”. Penelope said
“Right after Mom learned of the brain bleed, they married”. Patrick replied
The twins almost said simultaneously “They were protecting each other”.
“No one likes to be lonely, and yet people have to live that way every day”.
“Do you think they were?”. Penelope asks
“What?” Patrick responds
”Mom’s parents, do you think they were happy?”
“Do you really want the answer?”
“Yes, Sergeant buzzkill”
“No, I don’t think they were happy, they were matchmade”. Patrick started
“A begrudging respect could be forged eventually, but love was a stretch”,. Penelope finished
“Mom and Dad didn’t want to live that way”. Patrick said
Or us to have to live that way too” Penelope concluded
.
“Hence, the sliver and white ball where every magical being can feel a bit freakier.”.
“That’s not the intention behind the ball”. Penelope defends and adds “you should come with me
