...I actually went out there researching some family stuff. When I was really young, I had a great-aunt who owned a cabin in Whitetail. I still remember the family trips - hiking, going down to the river. But then she died overseas, and left the place to some man none of us had ever heard of. I went to find out who he was, and why.
[Brett pauses, picking at the grass.]
I didn't...tell anyone that was why I was there. I honestly don't even know why I kept it a secret.
[He was going to, though. Even after everything, if the cabin hadn't ended up in his possession, he'd have kept it to himself. Still trying to keep his distance, perhaps? Hide his vulnerabilities?]
