Andrew still wasn't quite adjusted to staying at the haven, but he was managing. He went back to Seattle for a weekend on his own and the house had just felt empty without Joshua. He was back in Cold Water by Friday night to stay at the haven with his boyfriend. It was so strange how Joshua had changed from something he'd bought, to someone he loved. Andrew was still struggling with not bossing the kid around. Now that Joshua was part of a pack, he had a much stronger back bone, and that was new as well.
It was nearing the evening when Andrew's car pulled up, an expensive 1967 navy blue Mustang. It was new, something he'd bought that morning when he was bored and alone. It was actually for Joshua, if the boy wanted it. At least for them to share, or something. Andrew knew that Joshua wouldn't straight out accept it if he tried to give it to him, but if Andrew said it was theirs, then Joshua would.
He headed up the steps and into the house, having learned that he was allowed to just walk in a long time ago, and was immediately hit with the smell of a home cooked meal. That was one thing he really did love about the haven. There was always so much good food. He headed for the kitchen first, to see if maybe Joshua was there.
