Brax wrapped him in a hard embrace. “He deserved it. You know that.”

“I do, but…” Kyle shuddered then squared his shoulders, pulling away. “We need a bucket and a mop.”

“On it,” Brax said, obviously taken aback at Kyle’s abrupt action. “You start bringing in the rest of the furniture.”

Kyle nodded. “It should be safe for me to go back to the hotel.”

“You know you’re welcome to stay at my place again,” Brax told him.

“I know. But I have to pack and…and what have you. I’ll pick up what I have at the apartment in the morning, if that’s okay with you.”

With a look of dismay, Brax replied, “Yeah. Sure. Remember, if it’s after nine, I’ll be at work.”
