Two and a half months, give or take. That’s how long it had been and Max was convinced he’d been doing well; no one else had been able to find him up to this point. He should have known it was only a matter of time... Eyes landed on Kris before the other saw him and his heart skipped a beat. And, in any other situation he’d be over the moon to see the older boy but now? All he felt was panic. He stopped in his tracks, tried to convince himself that he was seeing things -- a mistake, as it gave Kris the perfect opportunity to see him. Max’s lips parted, almost like he was going to say something before quickly ducking his head and hurrying in the opposite direction. And it was stupid, he knew Kris had seen him but still he couldn’t help but hope that he hadn’t.
