“If you do, I’ll bring you here and break your arms.” I smile. “In seriousness, though, I’m not letting you go off the wagon without me. If you struggle with it again, I want to go where you go.”
I crouch beside him, press my cheek to his, because I know if he could hug me fully, he would. I hug him and whisper near his ear. “Of course, my answer is yes. And no, it’s not too soon.”
I feel him breathing faster—the old withdrawal bit. He shuts his eyes, shakes his head. “I won’t be like this forever.”
