family secret - Noah's Archipelago

Et Tu, Ruth?

Noah wants to know if Ruth has secrets he doesn’t know… and maybe he doesn’t want to know, but he does.

Noah should ask more questions if he wants more answers… actually, no. Scratch that. He shouldn’t ask any questions.

Can’t complain about being out of the loop if you don’t read the loop newsletter, Noah.

See, this is why you don’t talk without your lawyer present, Ursula. Better yet, don’t talk at all.

Ask stupid questions, get stupid answers, Noah.

The penny drops and Noah learns the truth of his mother’s “pets.”
