Tommy listened quietly as Rose explained the nature of her dilemma. When she explained that her bio dad was a monster and that she was adopted...a shadow of sadness crossed his features.

"This probably isn't a comfort to you, but I know what you're going through. Kinda. I learned I was adopted a few years ago. But it was my step-dad who was the biggest piece of crap who ever lived. And my mom wasn't much better." Tommy said.

"Did bio-dad call you and drop the news? Or did your adopted dad have to tell you because somethin' happened?" Tommy asked.
