Chapter 26 Lingering Past

• “Oh, that is me. Your pop is calling.” Leaving a kiss on Ethan’s cheek, Eliot smiled and said, “See you around, beautiful boy.” Ethan returned the smile.

• When Eliot left, Ethan felt better. Maybe because of the chocolate or Eliot’s presence, but whichever it was, he felt better.
