Once she was out of earshot, Emmett turned to Evan, his eyes wide with worry. "Evan, have you had any luck reaching Elijah?" Evan and Emmett had packed their bags, ready to leave today. They had been trying to call Elijah all morning, hoping to tell him about their plan so he could join them.

Evan paced the room, clearly agitated. "No luck! How about this - I'll go look for Elijah. You guys go ahead to the train station with Mom. I'll bring Elijah and meet you there later?" Elliot, who had been listening quietly, shook his head, his brow furrowed in thought. "Right now, Tarquin has only found Mom, not us. If you're spotted trying to find Elijah, Mom will freak out." "So what do we do? Leave Elijah behind? No way! He's our brother! We can't just leave him out there on his own!" Evan exclaimed.
Emmett nodded vigorously in agreement. "Yeah, brothers stick together!" Elliot let out a sigh, "Even if we get in touch, Elijah won't cwith us. He once said he wouldn't leave Tarquin behind." "What?! He'd choose that jerk Tarquin over us and Mom?" Evan was incredulous.
"He wants both." "But he's gotta choose!" Evan argued.
Elliot explained, "It's a tough choice for him. Tarquin's been taking care of Elijah; it's natural he feels loyal to him. But of course, Elijah loves us and Mom too." "So, what now?" Evan asked, frustration evident in his voice.
Elliot paused before speaking, "Leaving now isn't right for Mom." "Why not? If Mom wants to leave, we should just go. As long as she's happy, that's what matters!" Elliot glanced out the window, "Tarquin has been searching for Mom for years. Now that he's found her, he won't let her go easily. We're already being watched." Evan peeked outside and his anger flared, "No one can stop Mom if she wants to leave! Tarquin better not push me, or he'll regret it. If he makes Mom sad again, I won't hold back!" Elliot closed the curtain, "Calm down. Tarquin is just one reason why it's not right for Mom to leave now.

The other reason is Elijah. He's been missing Mom for years. If they're separated again before even getting to know each other, it might break him. And there's Mom She doesn't know Elijah is her son yet. She's ready to leave Elijah with Tarquin without a second thought because she's unaware. But eventually, Mom will find out the truth. And when she does, she'll regret today's decision for the rest of her life. She'll live with that guilt and pain." Evan's heart sank at the thought. "I can't stand the idea of Mom living with that kind of pain. Not now, not ever." "But Mom's set on leaving. How do we stop her?" Emmett chimed in, worry creasing his brow.
Elliot pondered for a moment, then made up his mind. "If we have to, we'll tell Mom the truth. That Elijah is the truth her son then, it's it's up to her to decide whether to stay or go. Whatever she chooses, we'll support her, every step of the way." "You've got my support, bro. Whatever it takes to do right by Mom, I'm in," Evan declared, his resolve firm.
"And me,too! I'll follow whatever plan Elliot comes up with!" Emmett added eagerly.
"Alright, don't worry. I'll handle this. Just try to get in touch with Elijah. If you reach him, tell him to stay calm for now." "Got it!" mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
