His green eyes assessed Jason as he slowly made his way over.
There was something strangely familiar about the man, but Jason was sure they'd never met before.
The man smiled as Jason sat down.
At the word son, Jason startled, suddenly realizing why the man seemed familiar.
He looked like his father, older, certainly, and his eyes were darker.
But this man looked almost exactly what Jason pictured his father would be like now.
Even his voice was similar.
I'm, I'm from Arizona.
Jason couldn't help replying truthfully to this man, unlike the lady in the elevator.
Jason knew this man wasn't his father.
He knew it in his mind, even as his heart lifted at his words.
What was the danger in pretending, if only for a few minutes?
You got a wife?
Kids?
No, Jason sighed.
I almost did, but I screwed it up, just like I screw up everything.
The man leaned back with a frown.
I'm sure that's not true, Jason.
No, really.
Jason didn't pause to consider how the man knew his name.
