Filling in the Gaps
Over the next few hours, Jack and Daniel sat in Daniel’s living room, piecing together the story of their father. Daniel explained how Eleanor had raised him on her own, never remarrying or speaking much about Jack’s father. She had always said that he had loved them but had been forced to leave for reasons she never fully explained. Jack shared what he knew from the letters, filling in the gaps of their father’s life.

Jack handed Daniel the second letter, letting him read their father’s words for himself. Daniel’s hands shook as he held the letter, reading about the love their father had for Eleanor and the child he had never been able to raise. “I had no idea,” Daniel said, his voice thick with emotion. “I always thought he abandoned us. But he didn’t, did he? He wanted to stay, but something kept him from doing that.”
