He is tempted, for a moment, to turn towards Her and glare. He doesn't, only sighs and lets himself play with Charles' hair. Does he let Max hold him like this? Does they hold each other closer?

There are three of them who want Charles in ways different from the rest. He wants him, Max wants him, She wants him, and maybe Charles has just enough space in his heart for two. Maybe he doubts the way Charles still holds onto him, still blocks him from Her eyes.

Maybe Carlos feels just that little bit possessive enough to think he can share.

Hello :) 

I’m not really sure if anyone still cares about this, but I promised my wife that I would finish the sequel this year. So here we are. I apologize for the five-year wait, a lot of things happened and things just got pushed to the wayside. But this is practically done, I’m just doing final edits on the remaining chapters (and epilogue). New chapters will be posted every few days.

Thanks for all the love over the years. I appreciate all the kind messages/reviews <3

Aaaaand we’re officially done. Sorry if it’s a few days late, last week was an insane one at work and I didn’t get much accomplished on the writing front. Thank you to everyone who has read up to now, reviewed, and sent nice messages. I appreciate all of you. :)

LAST CHAPTER! :) Yay! 

Well... technically there’s still an epilogue coming next week, but this is the last full chapter of the short sequel. Thank you so much for bearing with me and still reading this thing.

We’re at the midway point now. Two more chapters to go and then an epilogue. Thank you again for your patience and for all the sweet messages. :) I appreciate each and every one of you.
