Before I fall on my face." He adjusted his wobbly stance and nodded back towards the lodge.<br/><br/>Karren and Alex stood on the steps looking at then from across the parking lot. Her face was a worried mask and so was his. He knew they had cared for him before. Just as he knew they still did. He supposed he should feel hurt. But he felt only hope. Hope that he could get to know the mother hed never had.
