The One True Alpha
Mum placed a large plate of pancakes on the table and sat down next to Dad, clasping her hands together, and still not looking at me.
From the size of the pancake tower, she was very stressed. Add her lack of eye contact and Dad talking super calmly… this was likely to be some terrible news.
‘Mum, Dad, you’re both freaking me out. Just say it! Did someone die?’
They looked at each other again.
Immediately, I sat opposite them, ‘Oh my god, who was it? Grandpa Mitch? I thought he was getting better!’
‘No, no, Grandpa Mitch is fine, he’s doing great in fact,’ Mum sighed and grabbed my hand, finally looking at me, ‘It’s your father.’
