After Anastasia left with her promised share of their life, Kyle was left alone with Otis and a bigger hole in his pocket. He didn't know how to handle children. He had never really been an active parent and had spent most of his time worrying about his business, but Anastasia leaving had made it just the two of them, and after a week of Otis crying his eyes out and Kyle not knowing what to do, he decided that they should move back to his home town on a whim, believing that he might be able to get his mother to help him.
