Episode 319: Tonight I Wanna Cry

Avalon clutched Bowie’s wrist so tight she felt fairly certain she was cutting off her friend’s circulation but she couldn’t bring herself to let go and collapse or something, in the most painful tears. It was like if she just held onto Bowie, her mom wouldn’t die again. Her heart wouldn’t die again.

"You look like me." The stranger wouldn’t keep his big brown eyes off her. He scrubbed his hair. "Sorry, I don’t mean you look like some old scarred hockey player - you’re really pretty. Beautiful. Man, it’s just like they say, it’s like looking into my own eyes."

"You really are my dad." She felt Bowie kiss the top of her head.

"I think so. I have to be honest with you Avalon, I’m not really sure if I know how to be a dad. I never really had one myself."

He folded his arms and unfolded them. Over and over. "Well I had one for awhile. Your grandfather took me under his wing. He only hated me later for doing his daughter." He swiped a hand over his lips. "Sorry, I’m not the most refined guy in the world and I’m blabbering on like this when you’re stunned or something. Sebastian said I shouldn’t do this but I had to know if Sarette and I had a daughter."

Calvin Baird grinned at her. "I’m not normally a big talker like this but I guess I’m nervous to meet my girl and well you look like Sarette too. Here and there. And I haven’t seen her since before you were born. I guess I’m really caught up in all of it, I-"

"Take the keys Bowie and please close up for me. I have to go."
