Cesar was slightly stunned at Rafaele’s words. And at the way he’d seen his need to get out of there. That he wasn’t pushing for more.
His chest feeling tight, Cesar nodded and bit out, ‘Give him my best wishes.’
And then he turned and walked away quickly from that happy scene, before his wondering about what Rafaele had meant about their mother could tear him open completely and expose the dried husk of his soul to the light.
