Desperately Seeking Epic

Paul James loved Clara Bateman. <br />Hating her would have been easier.<br />She was the past, and he was hell-bent on keeping her there.<br />Or so he thought...<br /><br />Craigslist Ad: DESPERATELY SEEKING EPIC<br /><br />You’re my father.<br />I don’t know much about you. I know your name is Paul James, you’re a thrill seeker, and once upon a time you did stunts and people called you ‘Epic.’<br />I’ve been told you don’t know about me. That it’s complicated. <br />But for me it’s simple.<br />Here’s the thing: I’m twelve years old…and I’m dying.<br />And as much as this could crush my mother, I have to meet you before I go. <br />In time, I’m sure she’ll understand. She’s still in love with you.<br />So, Epic, if you read this, please come back. You don’t have to be my dad. You don’t even have to tell me you love me or you’re sorry. Just come see me. <br /><br />Patiently waiting, but running out of time,<br /><br />Neena
