Next chapter of salt in the wounds is up!<\/p>\n

May 1933<\/a> – Hamish is getting older and it’s time he knew some things.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

John walked out of Mrs. Hudson\u2019s shop when he heard the shouting. He turned the corner just in time to see Hamish take a swing at one of the three boys surrounding him. He connected solidly and the other two jumped on him. Hamish struggled to throw them off, but the boys broke and ran when John reached them with a solid hand on their shoulders, helping the one Hamish had punched. John turned Hamish and saw tears in his eyes as he breathed heavily, wiping at his eyes.<\/p>\n

John met his eyes. \u201cYou\u2019re fifteen, Hamish, you don\u2019t get into fights. Tell me what happened.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hamish shook his head and turned away from his father.<\/p>\n

John took a deep breath. \u201cCome on then, Mrs. Hudson has tea.\u201d<\/p>\n

Allowing himself to be led into the shop, John settled him in Mrs. Hudson\u2019s back room, sharing a worried look with her. Once he had the boy settled, he followed Mrs. Hudson back out to the front. \u201cI want to know what those boys said. Hamish\u2019s never started a fight in his life.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mrs. Hudson glanced towards the back room. \u201cOh there\u2019s always rumors.\u201d<\/p>\n

John narrowed his eyes. He knew he didn\u2019t spend much time in the village, but he\u2019d been trying to encourage Hamish to take the boat and go by himself. After all, he had to learn to deal with people. So he\u2019d been helping out Mrs. Hudson a few times a week during the day. \u201cYou must tell me.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
