I’m Someone Else

Sean looked at William with a puzzled expression. “Are you telling me the truth? Is that the trouble Thomas is facing now?”

It was understandable that he found it hard to believe. From Sean’s perspective, this situation didn’t even qualify as trouble since Sean himself could resolve it without the intervention of his family.
