Draft Night (2)

Once Chris arrived, he also joined in on the festivities. Before long, dinner was served and laughter rang out in the house unabashedly.

It was moments like these that made Ken forget about all of his worries. Though there was an undertone of sadness knowing that this wouldn't last forever.
