Armand went to the door to the master suite. “He’s hurt and in bed, sweetie. He doesn’t look so good but the doctor says he’s going to get better.”

“Hi sweetie,” he croaked.
“Daddy, I love you. Papa loves you too.”
Tears ran down Armand’s cheeks. “Nothing matters but you. I swear to the gods they’ll pay for this.”
“Don’t get hurt,” Sean croaked. “I got home. Don’t start something, please don’t get hurt.”
