Jon pulled Mercury back; it was his support animal that the VA gave him. A six month old golden retriever. The dog park was as safe as any place to meet with Whitney. He just wanted to talk and for once listen. He hadn’t liked whom he’d been seeing in the mirror. With the help of his shrink and Mercury well he’d been looking up. It took him losing Skye to see she was very important to him. He hated that she was gone but it also closed a part of his life that was hard to deal with. Skye represented his true love and his biggest mistake. As he unfastened the leash on Mercury and she charged off. He laughed as he watched her playing and running through the park. He imagined his son would play with his dog one day. He imagined a life where Skye and he actually took responsibility and they had him in their lives. Jon actually wasn’t here for himself today wasn’t about him it was about Skye. He’d done some horrible things but the worst was severing Skye’s connection to Miles. When he saw Whitney he smiled. She was still beautiful and sadly he wondered if she knew it. He’d always felt Whitney allowed Ryan to do what he wanted because she was insecure or thought she couldn’t find better than that pretentious jerk.

Mercury charged at Whitney jumping on her as she approached him. The dog was already wildly protective and playful. Leading to Whitney falling into his arms. “I’m sorry she’s very excited to be out.” Looking down at Whitney’s eyes he smiled. Letting her up he helped steady Whitney to her feet. Once they sat down he handed her the coffee from TJ’s. “I called you here not for me. I don’t know when she’ll reach out. What I do know is Skye well enough to know that she is very alone. I attacked the Hessington’s, I sold my story to Greer and I was the one with Elliot trying to get Miles back. She did what she thought was right but I don’t think she deserves to lose Miles. That’s my cross to carry but I don’t think it should be Skye’s. If I’m out of hand please tell me but Miles one day will find out everything. He’ll learn who he is and he’s going to yearn for us. I think it would be easier if he had one of us already and she’s the one who he already knows. So I just think when she is ready please don’t turn her away. I did it. I was the culprit and I deserve to do the time. I deserve not to know what a great kid he is. That’s all I called you for.” Jon petted Mercury who looked sadly at him sensing something was off. “The VA gave her to me. I think it’s to patch the hole in my heart for Miles. They just felt bad for me. Everyone felt badly for me.”

Whitney had dropped off Miles at preschool and left Morgan with Sora before she answered a few emails for the morning. Ryan was back visiting his family at the mill more than likely seeing Nova meaning so much for their image. She didn’t mind it wasn’t like she and Ryan had ever been solid but it was an election year and back home he would be out of the spotlight. She had texted Lex that morning as well Jon had dropped the custody case meaning this meeting was even more awkward. Ryan would be opposed to the idea she knew he would even though he tried to put on a good front, but with Skye leaving like she did call her a bleeding heart she felt bad for Jon. Her father would know by the time she likely sat down and she’d deal with him later but for her maybe there could be a compromise with Jon Harrison. It wasn’t like he was an awful person and at one point they did have their little affair years ago none of what happened was his fault. Getting out of the town car she adjusted the Armani suit she was wearing she had a photo op later in Pittsburgh with Anderson and she almost rolled her eyes at it all. It should have been her on that damn ballot and she didn’t need a running mate that was the likes of Anderson of all people. She was the one that should have been there, her name in the spotlight with whatever minion that she decided was worthy of running with her. It wasn’t like her father had other options when it came to the family political side: who was he going to put in Lex? Or worse Connor with his sex tape scandals? She almost lost her footing when the puppy jumped up on her full speed only to be caught by Jon’s arms and batted off the dirt when they both sat down.

“It’s fine only a two thousand dollar suit but that is why they invented dry cleaning right?I’m just kidding it is fine, she’s cute we had a dog growing up Uno, my mom adored him he was a jack russell terrier used to chase us around the house my dad would yell. He in particular liked to grab my dad’s loafers and chew the tassels off. If you are hoping that I have answers for you about where Skye fluttered off to I don’t she hasn’t been in contact with me or Ryan since she left. When she is ready we’ll deal with it. Ryan and I don’t blame you, now my father and brother on the other hand that is a different story. I want to say thank you for dropping the custody.” Whitney said looking at him and taking the coffee from his hand not wanting to get his hopes up about Skye and she didn’t mention the fact that a protective order against her had been filed already. Truthfully she had no idea how far either Skye or Jon would go when it came to her son and as awful as that probably sounded for Jon that was her reality. “We always agreed to tell Miles when he was older when we felt that he could handle it that Skye had given him to us and that she was his birth mother. I really had no idea it was you. We always assumed it was Jackson but then she’d change the story to someone else. Then that thing with us happened when Dani came home and the shit that happened with her and Lex. It nagged me. I should have told you then or at least let you know. Ryan doesn’t know I’m here, honestly he’d be against this after everything.”
