Grateful for the hug, Thomas gave her a squeeze back. "Thank you," he said with feeling. "It makes me feel less worried about the future."
"I'd help in any way I could as well," Victor spoke up. "Neither of us would hesitate." He smiled widely at Kat and Thomas loved seeing how fond they were of each other.
"You guys are pretty great," Thomas said quietly. "I didn't really have friends in my twenties and I could have used them. It's really nice having them now."
"Oh, Jesus, Thomas. You're going to make me cry," Victor protested.
