I would rush him into a hug right now if it weren’t for the wall I need to keep up. He’s not like them. Like his family.

He looks to me. “Okay,” he says, short. “Okay. Give me a sec.” He hits the Off icon.
“You okay?”
“Yeah, I’ll be right back.”

“It’s fine,” he assures me when he sees the budding panic on my face. “Just get ready and packed and we’ll leave in a little while.”
“Okay,” I say weakly, and then he leaves.
