She wanted to know that she mattered to them?
Sadie was the reason that Myka was even alive. Peter had been trying to figure out how to show her how thankful he was.
He had asked Alice to ensure she found a good family for Sadie. He had gone out of his way to ask if she was adapting or needed anything.
Alice gave him minor updates about her here and there. Then she offered to take him to meet the family and see Sadie. He had turned her down, thinking that Sadie would be reminded of all she had gone through in the lab if Peter came around.
Peter felt a tear roll down his cheek. He sniffled and wiped it away.
“I didn’t know that…” he whispered.
“I think you did,” Myka replied.
Peter furrowed his brows and looked at Myka.
Myka smiled.
“You didn’t want to promise to come back because you didn’t know if that was a lie,” he said. “But you did promise. And I think you did that because you wanted her to know you would do everything possible to keep that promise. For her.”
