Summary: Recent news has Alastor remembering the past.
Cal,
Do you remember right after the siege began, laying out under the stars, talking about forgiveness and emotions? I still don't deal well with the latter.
Something happened today. I don't know. Maybe you'll have already heard. But, maybe not. Jamie's little sister, Charlie's niece, killed herself and her newborn daughter late last night or early this morning. She was found in bed when the guards changed.
I had to give Jamie the news this morning. I owed him that much.
That's not why I'm writing, though, not entirely. See, I've grown to truly like and respect that young man, which if you'd seen us at the first of the year you'd find as surprising as I do. And, I don't usually do sympathy well. But, I couldn't help feeling sympathy for Jamie.
I've been there. I've been the one sitting in a Ministry office while some official in a suit told me my sibling and their child were dead.
And, I realised I'm the lucky one. I got you and Baron back. More than that, I don't want to be at odds with you. I don't know what's going on with you, or you and Charlie, or you and me. And, I really don't appreciate your words toward Marlene. But, as angry as I was the other night, you're my brother and I love you. I don't usually know how to say it, but I do. I was only trying to look out for you the way you've looked out for me.
You're the only family I have and I failed you once, as you very pointedly reminded me that night. I don't want to do that again.
