Mulo left that day after telling me the truth about Marcus. He
stayed until after the kids got home from school so that he could tell them he
was moving back to his house. It didn’t matter because Elphie still got angry
with me. She ran upstairs packed a bag and informed me she was going with him.
He was the reason they were vampires, he was the reason they didn’t have a father;
that I didn’t have my husband yet they loved and idolized him. It pained me to
say it, but I told her she would still get to see him and talk to him but he
couldn’t live here anymore. I was then hit with the dreaded why question from
Edson. Even with him here to tell them in person he was leaving, somehow I was
still made to feel like the bad guy in the situation.
