Despite all the odds, can he save the boy as well as the romantic evening with Matty?

V Box Set

The very next headline underscored the danger. Temps to drop into single digits this weekend. Snow likely.


Matt shook his head, concerned. How did a small child that young get away on his own? But he knew the answer—his sister had kids, and if someone didn’t keep an eye on them constantly, they could simply disappear. That had happened to him once, before he met Vic. He’d been out with his cousin Anna and her daughter Emmy, who was only three or four at the time. They’d been doing a little clearance shopping after Christmas, and his only duty was to watch Emmy while Anna racked up on holiday cards and wrapping paper. How hard could that be, really?
