Visits.
Calls.
Birthdays.
Micah started calling him Daddy Marcus.
Graham remained Dad or Ga depending mood.
One afternoon Marcus told Graham:
“I used to be jealous.”
“Of me?”
“Yes.”
“Why?”
“Because you had the daily stuff.”
Graham nodded.
Marcus continued.
“Then I realized Micah having another man who loves him doesn’t remove me.”

Love was not a fixed number of seats.
Graham smiled.
“My father never learned that.”
“Maybe he still can.”
They watched Micah play soccer.
