Lennon’s Death

“It won’t be too late to have a formal celebration later with friends and family once the timing is right and my position in the Belcourt family is secure.”

Lennon added, his lips curling, “By then, they probably never imagined that there wouldn’t be a future for them beyond that.”

“What about you?” Damien asked, his deep, inscrutable eyes gleaming with an array of intricate glimmers as they bore into Lennon. “What about your future?”

“I don’t need one.” Lennon chuckled, his determined gaze shining through his pale face. “I’ve been avoiding it too long; I can’t keep running forever. Confronting these demons is an inevitability.

“It’s just…” He closed his eyes. “I hope that when Alexis is older, you can tell him that his father was not a coward. And that he never wronged his mother.”
