Finn gave Gray’s hand a little squeeze back needing the support just as much as the other. The scene he had walked into kept replaying and playing over again in his head. “I went with her to the hospital and stayed there until a social worker showed up. I’m pretty sure Phoenix is going to stay in the hospital over night and then be put into emergency foster care until they can find someone for her.” He sighed, “I highly doubt she has any family.”

“It was bad, Gray.” Finn turned to look at his boyfriend, his eyes filled with sadness. “There was this couple– we have had run ins with them in the past. They have this adorable girl. Well today I stopped by with my partner to do a welfare check and– Gray, they were dead. Fucking dead.” He shook his head to himself. “They overdosed and had been like that for maybe five days. And their daughter just was stuck fending for herself for those days. I found her eating cereal on the mattress with her parents and just watching cartoons. She thought they were sleeping.”

A faint smile appeared on Finn’s lips. “I mean, time is an illusion so if you want it to stop while we are together than it stops.” He let out a small sigh, “There were so many times before we got together that I just wanted to treasure and keep forever, fearing that we may never get a moment to be as close as we were again. Then there were times I wish I could just fast forward through so I would never have to relive it in my head. It would all just be a haze.”
