I Want You Back
The sorveteria was a cozy little place with bright colors and a cheerful atmosphere, a stark contrast to the tension of the morning.
Wyatt sat between Matt and Gideon, happily licking a chocolate cone, his face smeared with ice cream as he chattered about superheroes and dinosaurs. I watched him, my heart swelling with love, even as I felt the undercurrent of unease between the two men.
Gideon, to his credit, kept things light, joking with Wyatt and even managing a few polite exchanges with Matt about the city’s new aquarium exhibit. Matt responded cautiously, but I could see him trying, and it warmed me to know he was making an effort for Wyatt’s sake.
