Graham Monroe gave two light coughs, making him seem even more frail. He saw the doubt in Marcus's eyes and his lips curled into an enigmatic smile. "What, surprised?"
'Indeed he was…' Marcus pulled up a chair and sat down without a word.
Graham Monroe's expression darkened. 'When did this child stop wanting to be close to me?'
