Texting your sister during the Memorial Day BBQ after you...

Conversation

1. I opened Dad's sealed letter at the barbecue.
2. You opened it now?
3. It starts: 'If you're reading this, I'm not your biological father.'
4. Don't open any more, promise me.
5. I read it all, I'm sorry.
6. You didn't see page two, you read wrong.
7. Page two names someone—Marcus Allen.
8. Marcus?
9. Yeah, Dad wrote Marcus might still be nearby.
10. Marcus dated Mom before Dad, that's why.
11. Dad wrote he 'kept us safe' from Marcus.
12. So he wasn't our biological dad, but he protected us?
13. He also wrote 'don't involve police' in bold.
14. Why would he say that, that's illegal.
15. He hinted Marcus knew things about Mom.
