Charlie and I are waiting in my office eight minutes later. We had told Brandon that Devin had a couple of questions and requests about his Gamma ceremony and we had to catch up with my father and his to prepare for the Blue Crescent pack. “You sure you don’t want me to come with you?” Brandon asked. He seems like he doesn’t want to leave us, and honestly, I don’t want to leave him. But Devin was clear that Brandon couldn’t be there. “Nah, man. We need your help with training the warriors while we push the paperwork,” I say, pulling him in for a quick kiss. “Do me a favor, though?” Charlie asks. “Anything, beautiful. What can I do?” He turns to her, running a hand down her cheek. “Work up a good sweat. I want to help you wash when you get home,” she smiles and kisses him deeply
