Caden stood at the doorway, eyes meeting Zev's. His gaze welled with tears. Without a word, he wrapped Jasper in a hug and gently took Shane's hand, leading both boys out of the hospital room.

Clarissa narrowed her eyes at him, full of resentment, then scoffed and turned to Caden. She reached out her hand toward Shane. "Come home with Mommy, sweetheart."
