Another business
Jancine had gone, leaving her son with Malcolm and Christa. Christa and Malcolm still weren’t on good enough terms to sleep together again, so Malcolm concentrated on his businesses. He sold the restaurant – too much work and expense involved, and bought a clothes shop (Cover Me Clothing). He will be an elder very soon.
Malcolm junior grew into a teen.

He’s a bit better looking that his father.
[Despite selling property Malcolm still has the deeds to the properties. Perhaps he should buy back the real estate office.]
