It’s been months since Stuart has opened up to him, months since Noah’s son has come to him seeking guidance. It’s agonizing, watching his child slip away, not knowing how to reach Stuart. There had been a time that they had spoken about everything, a time that Noah had known exactly what was going on in his son’s life.
What had changed? What had wedged itself between them and torn their relationship apart?
The urge to argue with his son flickers, to push Stuart to get his ass into bed and get the first good night’s sleep that he’s gotten in weeks. Noah has seen the bags under Stuart’s eyes, seen the way his mind drifts off during conversations, seen the toll exhaustion has taken on the poor boy.
But what use is raising his voice? It will only push Stuart further away. So Noah lets out a sigh and lowers himself into the seat beside Stuart.
“What are you working on? Anything I can do to help?”
