Rowan hadn’t seen James in six days. Six long, impossible days which he started with a jerk-off session in the shower to the memory of James coming apart inside him. He’d end those days with another long, drawn-out moment with his hand around his dick at the memory of sliding his mouth around James’ cock. It wasn’t like he was purposefully avoiding the other man, but when James left his place the following morning, he’d finally gotten the call he’d been expecting.

His mom wasn’t as apologetic as he wanted her to be for keeping everything from him, but she also didn’t fight him when he told her his plans to transfer his clients and head out there to take care of her.

“At any rate, it’ll be good to see you. And we don’t know how long this is going to last,” she told him.

It was only now that he knew that he could hear the weakness in her voice, hear the faint puffs of oxygen he hadn’t known she was on. She was slipping away, but even the doctor told him that it could be a year or so more before it took over completely.

Of course, her MS complicated things. She didn’t recover the way most people did, and with every drop in her oxygen levels without pulling back up, he knew it was a tick in the column of her reaching the end.

He’d never really contemplated the idea of watching his mother die slowly. He was a pragmatic guy, he didn’t need to come to terms with the fact that he’d lose her someday, but he hadn’t expected it to be like this. It was a lot, and late at night when he couldn’t sleep, the knowledge that he’d have to be there the entire time as she slipped away threatened to choke him.

Those were his weak moments, the moments he’d picked up the phone and thumbed open his text thread with James. The guy hadn’t tried to contact him, and Rowan didn’t know what to think about that, but he appreciated it in a strange way. If he was a weaker man, or a more selfish man, he might have given in. But James deserved better than to be some distraction while the rest of his life fell apart.

So, he let the silence fall between them, let the chasm grow until there was no coming back from it. It was painful, but ultimately it would be best.

Rowan closed up his office permanently the day before Sam’s final hearing. It was going to go well. They had a new judge—one with a record of siding with disabled parents in cases like these, and Rowan could see that Sam’s caseworker knew she was fucked. They were more scrambling to save face than to try and get the judge to award in their favor.

But it wouldn’t matter. If it went to plan, Sam would be given a clean slate—an opportunity to start over the right way instead of having to jump through hoops that shouldn’t exist in the first place.
