Chapter 5: Chapter 5—Two Sons

🔒 This chapter is locked · 20 Quills

Three empty apartments on the ground floor of 8 Branly Street. Diane is gone. So are Raphael and Nora, and have been for a long time. Stephanie has to fill the building. Twenty-year-old Williams Witter arrives one Saturday in January with three pieces of luggage and his whole life. His father, Jimmy, doesn’t want him. Four years of silence, a fight in the stairwell, a single word, “Dad”, that no one expected. Grief over Vanessa has changed Williams. He’s no longer the boy obsessed with Tatum. He doesn’t even look at her anymore. He has eyes only for Allison, his best friend, bright and straightforward, who moves in next door.
