Chapter 34 - LOUIS EARNS A KEY
Three years passed before Ernest gave Louis another house key.
It was not a permanent key.
It opened the front door only during agreed visiting hours.
Louis held it carefully.
“I understand.”
Ernest looked at him.
“Tell me what you understand.”
“That access is not ownership.”
“And?”
“That being your son is not permission.”

Ernest nodded.
“Then keep it.”
