Episode 286: Serious

"Is this some kind of joke? It’s not funny Sebastian," Ava said, fighting back tears. "You know, I hope Xavier comes home right now and makes it so you can’t sit or stand without remembering how not funny-"

"I’m not joking. His name’s Calvin Baird. He’s a retired hockey player- Can we go sit down?"

"You really met my father?" Hugging her black silk dress, she dodged his outstretched hand and in a fog found her way to the plaid sofa. "How did you meet him? What’s his name? Where-"

"Slow down." He brushed her lips with his fingers.

Avalon batted his hands aside and sprang to her feet. "This is a trick!"

"A year ago, Bowie and I went to a private investigator, we thought if you had family you might ditch Xavier."

She sank down beside him. "Nice. Going behind my back like that. I’ll have to thank Bowie. So, why did your plan take so long?"

"We met him then and he had this young floozy girlfriend and he didn’t recognize your mom’s name. We didn’t figure him to be a much better option than-"

"Than Xavier." Ava didn’t know whether to hit Sebastian or cry. "So if you and Bowie know what’s best for me, what makes daddy best for me now?’

"I don’t know if he is it’s-" Sebastian took her hand. "It’s complicated. It could be good; it should be, but... I don’t know how else to put this- your mom, she’s alive."
