“You’re not making things easy,” Dylan continued. “Why won’t you give her a chance?”
Shane leaned forward. “If you took a flight to Los Angeles without clearing it with me first and hid for a whole year while I tried to find you, would you expect me to forgive you straight away?”

“But why do you have to date? I don’t want things to change. I don’t want you to get too busy with her and not have time for us.”
“Oh, buddy.” Shane sighed. “I will always have time for you. You and Hunter are the most important people in my life.”
Dylan peered across at him. “You promise?”
“I promise,” Shane said solemnly.
“Okay.” Dylan raised his chin. “I guess Faith is all right.”
It was a small concession, but to Shane, it seemed momentous.
