By the eighth foster home, Peter had had enough.
Honestly, he'd had enough by the fourth one, but nine was a little young to run off and start a life for himself. But now he was almost seventeen. He could get a job somewhere, hold his own with no problem. Getting a place to live would be harder, but he'd make it work. He'd certainly lived in worse.
And he had to find this 'Madison Valley'. A postcard in his baby blanket was all he'd had to go on, but that's where he was going.
She could have at least signed it. Or written a note. But whatever.
Logically he knew she'd given him away. She didn't want him. But he was still determined to find her. Maybe she'd change her mind and want him in her life. Or, if the worst happened, he'd at least get to look in her eyes and confront her on why she'd give away a tiny helpless baby. Either way, he needed closure.
So he'd gotten off the train, hitched his duffle bag with everything he owned higher on his shoulder, and took off. Maybe he should have planned this better. Now what? Madison Valley hadn't exactly looked like a large city from the postcard and the bit of reading he'd done on Wiki, but this was still somewhat larger than he'd expected. Where was he even supposed to start?
