Maybe it ' s because I had a biological father who wasn ' t very interested in being a responsible parent . I ' m glad Rory called him out . And honestly , was not disappointed with his answer . It was perfectly in character for him . I never thought he had a good reason for not being in their life .

I hope the references to Wyatt ' s mob are not just literary but have some background in the past events in the park too . Would be kind of disappointing otherwise . but what you say does sound quite compelling .
