It had been when the girls finally left that he grieved their goodbyes, bitter in his mind. They would be back, and yet he would miss them. Where they traveled to now, he hoped that it was beautiful. It must have been, in order to leave home.
What blindsided him was Tousaint, rushing into maman. Leaving. Leaving. Leaving? Struck by lightning, the boy felt weighed in place and entirely unable to speak. Out of everyone, he felt closest to his brother. Never too far. Never far at all. So, when Tousaint said his goodbyes to them, and took after the rest, the name finally came out of his mouth in a horrible realization. Somehow still unable to process. He stepped forward, lost.
"Tousaint?"
Leaving.
