““Of course.” He wrapped his arm around Max and stroked his back. “Fishing can tire out a man real good.”

It was all Max got out before his breathing changed and became slower, more even. His body went limp against Connor’s, and the feeling was exhilarating. All week he’d fought against this very feeling, the sense that he and his son had bonded beyond anything time or distance could tear apart.
Gentle snoring sounds came from Max’s nose, and Connor tightened his hold on him. The poor... kid must’ve been more tired than he thought. Not only the fishing and camping and unloading the car, but the mental exhaustion of wondering about his future.
