TWENTY-TWO :: [video]

[The feed clicks on to show a postcard, held in Pietro's hand. He's obviously displaying it purposefully for the network to see, and just barely visible, half-hidden by his thumb is the Cancun, Mexico text.]

After some minor confusion, I have been informed that my wife, Angelica, simply decided to take an unscheduled holiday. One about which she declined to tell anyone, apparently. Even myself.

[He flips the postcard around, revealing a typical note (wish you were here, the sun is amaaaazing, etc) and a few hearts scrawled lazily toward the end).]

I would retrieve her myself, but as I do not know exactly where in the Cancun she might be, and wish to avoid our son feeling any further parental abandonment... [Pietro clenches his jaw, the tenseness and resentment pretty palpable.] I will merely have to await her return.

I'm sorry to have concerned anyone over her absence. In the future, I will make sure Angelica and I discuss any future travel plans prior to gallivanting off.

[With that, Pietro folds the postcard with a huff and kills the feed.]

Why would she need to get away from Pietro and me, though?

[acrossyourpath]

Family falls under "all."

[magicalworld]

Oh...

[Now you made the kid sad good job Felicia]

[acrossyourpath]

[ This is why she is not fit for parenthood. ]

She will be back.

[magicalworld]

Yeah? And what if she needs to get away again?

[acrossyourpath]

I doubt that will be a problem. Once can be just enough.
