He pulled Aiden slightly closer, letting the younger man rest his head against his shoulder. “I do,” he admitted after a long pause. “More than you know. My world is full of bad things. But I also know something else.” Aiden looked up at him, waiting. “Bad things don’t get the final say,” Alexander said quietly. “They don’t get to define you. You survived. You’re still here.
