Who her daddy was.
Brows high as I recognized the name, a dash of excitement overtook the muted white noise in my ears for a second as I replied: aCooooig:**Your father was Gerard Sullivan?**
Lodestar:**He was.**
aCooooig:**Guess that explains why you moved around a lot.**
Lodestar:**Yup.**
aCooooig:**Christ. Well, I’m impressed.**
Lodestar:**Don’t be. He wasn’t the best man, but he was a brilliant dad.**
It took a hell of a lot to put stars inmyeyes, but dayum. Gerard Sullivan? Excuse me while I fangirled.
aCooooig:**Lol. Candid as always.**
Lodestar:**Yep. Worst day of my life was when he died, and after what I’ve been through on my tours of duty, that’s really saying something.**
aCooooig:**I’ll bet. Mom ‘unknown?’**
Lodestar: **I’m a miracle birth.”
aCooooig: **LMAO. You’re certainly something.**
Lodestar: **Just because you don’t know her name doesn’t mean she’s unknown.**
aCooooig: **I know. I was only teasing.**
Lodestar:**Come on then, tell me the truth.**
She made it sound so easy.
aCooooig:**I’ve never told anyone this before.**
Lodestar:**If you haven’t, then how did it cause your family any trouble?**
aCooooig:**Because my brother caught us.**
Lodestar:**Your brother caught you doing what?**
aCooooig:**I wasn’t doing anything.**
Lodestar:**Hmm. You’re still being cryptic. So,it was being done to you?**
aCooooig:**Yes.**
Lodestar:**Bad things?**
aCooooig:**The worst.**
Lodestar:**How old were you?**
aCooooig:**Seven.**
Lodestar:**Christ, aCooooig.**
Conor:**Call me Conor, Star.**
