"We're looking forward to it," Evelyn said with a smile, helplessly pleased still, and with something melting in her chest when Garrett gave Luca the telescope to keep. Obviously it meant something to the younger man, and just as obviously Luca meant something to both of them. The way that Garrett cared so deeply and freely about him was more endearing than she would ever admit.
Luca only blinked at the way Garrett tightened his grip for him, confused and disbelieving at first. ". . . I can keep it?" He asked, looking at first the telescope and then Garrett with a sort of mingled shock and joy in his eyes. "Thank you."
"Stay," Evelyn said softly, even though the words felt strange on her tongue. "If you don't have to go yet, I don't mind if you want to stay." She gave him a little smile, pointing down at Watson in Luca's lap. "I don't think our furry friend wants you to leave yet either."
How long had it been since she'd tried to stop someone from leaving? It felt like a lifetime, always letting people come and go as they pleased because it was so much easier than being able to care. Part of her hated it, even as she knew at the same time that she had to convince herself to go through the effort. She already cared, so it was too late to tell herself she didn't.
