The Professor, Volume 2: Just Talk

This bond between Noah and I had become sacred. It was the catalyst that allowed me to start spending more time with my stepson. Sharing my home with him softened me in a way I had not anticipated. Our relationship became more than just two men rubbing their sticks together to see if the sparks ignited. (In layman’s terms, a strictly physical affair.)

No, Noah had quickly become the most important person in my life and just the thought that he hadn’t always been around was truly unimaginable to me now.

By now we’ve gotten so comfortable around each other that it didn’t take long before I felt him rest his head against my shoulder, blink those sparkly blue peepers back at me and melt all my worries away.
