It's kind of a long story. I...had to leave. Or I thought I did. I didn't know Emma was pregnant at the time. But it doesn't change the fact that I left them when they needed me.

[lmao Neal this story sounds so weird and complicated coming from you.]

She was on her own, [And in prison but he's not going to drop that one] so she put him up for adoption, which is where you came in.

I owe you a lot for taking care of him like you did, for loving him and giving him what I couldn't because I got scared.
