Callum didn’t know who he was more worried about: Melissa or Malcom. Neither one of them was taking Poppy’s disappearance well. Both blamed themselves for driving her away. In a way, they were both right.He sighed. Now was not the time to drive the point home, but he hoped they both remembered to communicate with people.Out of everyone there, Callum understood where Poppy was coming from. He, too, had been orphaned at a young age. Bounced from family to family for a while. But unlike Poppy, he was lucky. When Malcom’s father, Donald, had heard that Callum had no real home, he took Callum in, raised him alongside Malcom. They had grown up together, like brothers. Callum never felt inferior to Malcom in anyway, beta though he was, and outsider, too.He understood how long it took for the fear of rejection to fade, even after you find your home. He understood how every look, every piece of silence could be read as pulling away.
