INT. - MICHAEL'S HOUSE - AN HOUR LATER


Michael watches as Ty walks over.


TY

You keep calling me sweet boy or your sweet son.


MICHAEL

You are very sweet.


TY

Gabriel and John James are sweet.


MICHAEL

You are sweet. You have been through so much.


TY

Many people have.


MICHAEL

The abuse you suffered was worse than most. It went past abuse. It was more like torture. Even after all of that you have no anger in you. You have the biggest heart of anyone. Generous does not seem strong enough a word to say how generous you are. You are always concerned about how other people feel. Yes, I know Gabriel is too. But that does not make it less so for you.


Michael puts his hands on Ty’s shoulders.


MICHAEL

My son, you are very sweet.


Michael takes his hands off Ty’s shoulders.


TY

You immediately started calling me your son.


MICHAEL

Yes. The day I adopted you you became my son.


TY

I’ve never called you my father.


MICHAEL

It is okay.


TY

It’s not. I’m sorry.


MICHAEL

It is okay, my son.


TY

I guess I kept expecting you to get mad at me.


MICHAEL

I know. I am not mad at you. You are a good kid.


TY

At first I kept expecting you to hit me.


MICHAEL

I know. That was all you knew. I will never hit you.


TY

I know that now. For someone that is supposedly so smart I’m very dumb sometimes.


MICHAEL

You are not dumb. Do not ever call yourself dumb.


TY

I hope I never hurt you.


MICHAEL

You have never hurt me.


Michael embraces Ty in a hug.


MICHAEL

I love you, my son.


Michael backs up.


TY

I love you too.


Michael kisses Ty on the forehead then backs up slightly.
