61. Touch you, found you

"That shouldn't be possible. The fire happened 37 years ago. Wasn't your father around three years old back then?" 

When I asked that, Jude's eyes, which had landed on the picture again, whipped back to me. His smile had taken on a mocking note,

"He would have been eight years old back then."

"Stunned because he seems younger to you?" Jude tilted his head; the yearbook in his hand had been forgotten, and the air in the room was heating up, scarily so.

"No." I shook my head, a bit intimidated.

"But how come you think it was him?"

Jude didn't answer a for a long time, just staring at me. The moment I wanted to give up on a conversation with a psycho and leave, he answered, his eyes turning back to the picture again.
