"Hey," I looked up at the sound of Caden's voice to see him standing at the threshold of my office and I beckoned him in while closing the folder I had been looking over. He looked relatively better than the last few weeks. He had color to his skin and had this glow to him that I've noticed on Kai.

"Hey, what's up?" I asked leaning back in my chair to give him my undivided attention. "How are you feeling?"

He bit his lip as he looked down at his hands. I stared at him, and let him gather his thoughts as I didn't want to force him. I may be his Boss, but he's also my baby brother and family comes before anything else. It took him a few moments to gather himself up before looking up, tears in his eyes making me jump to my feet and run to his side. I gathered him into my arms as he cried.
