He wanted to replace out who this “runaway” was that had Dorothy so worried and desperate. He foundhimself wanting to help her, even If she probably didn’t need him
The call that Dorally had received was indeed from Kenneth
He said that Langston had run away from home, leaving only a note stating that he was going back totheir homeland to look for his mother.
Lane didn’t know what happened to her, and when he asked, she said nothing
Dorothy naturally wouldn’t reveal more of her secrets to others. Lane already knew about herdaughter’s relationship with Everett, so she couldn’t possibly tell him about her son too
The only ones who knew about her other child were Karen and Kenneth
Upon reaching the hotel Dorothy immediately started packing her belongings, preparing to head to theairport
She needed to go back and discuss plans with Karen If all else fated, she would immediately llycoverseas to replace her son,

As soon as she stepped out she saw Lane still standing at the comer of the entrance

Dorothy paused, then nodded. “Yes, sul need to go back I might need to take a few days of!”

“Sure you can take as long as you need. On one condrion: I come with you
He wanted to be more involved in Dorothy’s life and interact with her daughter.
But to his surpose, Dorothy medutelprefined. Na, Shes very shy”
Lane fet abt awkward, He hurnedly said, “Treally mean well I have no utenor motives. I’m worried aboutyour daughter too”
“I can replace her on my own. Thank you though Dorothy dragged her sutcase and was about to leave.
Lane followed her and Ired helping her with the luggage. “At least let me take you to the airport.”
“Lane..”
“You’ll waste time haring a tad. My car is faster!”
“Alright”
She was in such a mess right now. She didn’t have the energy to draw a line with him. Al she wantedwas to replace Langston as soon as
He was so young: it would be easy for him to run into trouble
Dorothy couldn’t bear to think about the what–ils
possible.
Upon arriving at the airport, Lane didn’t say much. He simply helped her with her luggage and watchedas Dorothy went through security before he left
Dorothy sat in the wating room and quickly called Kerneth,
“Did you replace Langston?”
“Not He took his passport. It seems like he’s really planning to go back.”
Dorothy frowned. “He’s too young. The altport wouldn’t let him board?
“I hope so. I’m at the airport right now. There are only a few fights back, so 111 want a bit longer
“Were there any signs before he ran away? Did he say anything to you? Dorothy’s voice was honise.She wished she could fly overseas immediately. Kenneth paused, then said “Not really I had justbought him now clothes, and he seemed happy the even said how nice it would be if I were his dad,and then he went to do his homework. I thought he had fallen asleep after finishing his homework, butwhen I opened the door, there was nobody there. He had jumped out of the window, leaving only a ratefor me.”
“Could it be that he didn’t finish his homework and ran away to moid the teacher’s check?
