Michael Butler

Michael Butler is a gardener who left Odyssey after believing Wendy Jennings had rejected him twenty years earlier. He had asked her to meet beneath the City Hall clock at 11:45, but the message never reached her. Wendy's younger sister Alicia tore up his letter after a childish grievance and concealed the truth. Years later, rare black roses connected to Michael become part of a frightening mystery surrounding the clock tower. The investigation finally brings Alicia's old deception into the open. Her confession reveals that Michael and Wendy lost their future together because of a lie neither understood. Once the truth is known, Michael and Wendy begin speaking again, opening a possibility for healing after decades shaped by silence.
