Understanding the Family Rift
As they began talking, Jamie learned that his brother-in-law hadn’t always been welcome. The family had kept their distance from him for reasons Jamie vaguely remembered—arguments, trust issues, and a general sense of discomfort.

Slowly, bits of explanation filled in the gaps, painting a clearer picture of how the past had changed—and how his own absence might have played a part.
