85. Snappish
Setting: the Marchand house; Rouen, France;May 16, 2068
Papa acted odd all night. He wouldn't come downstairs for cake and presents, and when anyone talked to him, he turned snappish. Gaston stood outside the room, tray of cake in hand. Cake made everything better!
He peered in and for the first time in his life, he saw his father cry. "GO AWAY!" Papa snapped.
Gaston couldn't leave. He knew how it felt to cry alone. He tried to stay strong but couldn't help crying too. "It's okay, Papa.I won't go to Beauxbatons…"
Papa shook his head, hugging him. "No, you heard Evremonde. It’s dangerous if you don’t.”
