ABO / 5.20 : The veil has been lifted

Elwyn asked:

"How are you?"

Jacob couldn't stop himself from smiling as he thought about the few past days. The truth is that he's never felt this happier before. He had no idea how heavy this whole thing with his father weighed on him.

Now the atmosphere in the house is warm and he loves it. He, his father, and Atlas goes to work and comes back together every day. They also have dinner and breakfast together. The weird thing is that none of it feels weird.

Atlas' attitude toward him is very affectionate like the kind someone would have for someone who is family. Sometimes he has this feeling that Atlas is older than him.

But he doesn't mind it feels oddly familiar and he likes it. He knows that his approach is genuine. At first, he was worried that with them he would feel like the odd man out but Atlas and his father never make him feel that way.

He's glad Atlas now lives with them and that he's finally done with his family.

"I'm okay."
