Lucas ran away. (Hang on, that makes him sound 5.) He hacked into Dad's email account to provide evidence against Marilyn, one of Dad's business associates. I don't know the details, but it was obviously a way of rebelling and getting Dad to notice him. Then he freaked out and left home. But even that didn't knock any sense into Dad. He just sat there, bemused by it all and feeling sorry for himself as usual. Worse, he didn't bother to look for Lucas, but let Amy (his new fiance, they both causally announced) find him.
It's all okay now: Lucas is back and seems to have made things up with Dad. But this Amy woman is still such a mystery. She's wormed her way into our family and is insisting on playing the mother role. I can't explain it, but she has this hypnotic effect on people with her spell-binding eyes. Mabel thinks she's the spirit of Mum reincarnated. I know that's totally ridiculous, but there is something other-worldly about her. Why has this woman come into our lives like this, almost exactly two years after Mum's death and at such a crisis point in our family? Who is she?
