IT WAS just the two of them sitting on the porch together. Ty was already in bed, and Josh knew that he’d have to go home soon.

“Don’t go,” Rex said. At first Josh wasn’t sure what he was talking about, if he meant don’t go home or don’t go back to school. “Spend the night,” he whispered, as if to clarify himself.

“I don’t know, Rex. My aunt gets pissed if I don’t make it in by curfew.” He realized how ridiculous that sounded.

“You were gone all weekend.”

“Yeah, and I told them I’d be back tonight. They think I’ve been in Covington the whole time.”

“Why don’t you stay here… until you go back to school?”

“Really?” Josh couldn’t believe Rex was asking him this.

“Really,” he said.

Josh leaned in and kissed him. “Let me go call Uncle Harold and tell him not to expect me,” he whispered. “I can go see him tomorrow and pick up my things.”

“Good,” Rex said.

Their lovemaking was passionate that night. A shared bath followed by mutual back massages served as foreplay, and when Josh came, he buried his head in the pillow to keep from screaming. They both were a bit self-conscious, concerned the noise might disturb Tyler, who was sleeping just down the hall.

Josh set the alarm clock for seven, got up, and attempted to make breakfast for the three of them. He went with something easy—scrambled eggs and toast. Ty was thrilled to wake up and find Josh in the kitchen.

“Are you going to stay the night all the time now?” Ty asked excitedly.

“For a while,” he said, “until I go back to school next month.”

“Yay!” Tyler shouted, raising his hands straight in the air.

A knock on the door surprised the three of them. Rex, who was just coming out of the downstairs bathroom, headed for the front door, and Ty got out of his chair to go see who it was.

Josh was a bit curious himself and stepped over to the archway in the kitchen so that he could glance down the hall to see who was calling at such an early hour. When he saw the police uniform, he was a bit startled.

The officer did not speak but was apparently just accompanying a middle-aged lady wearing a suit and carrying some official-looking papers in her hand.

“Mr. Payton, I am Elizabeth Stuart from the Nichols County Child Protective Services Agency. May we come in?”

“Is something wrong?” Rex asked, his voice sounding shaky.

“We have a court order to remove a Tyler Jacob Payton from this household and place him in protective custody,” she said, very matter-of-fact.

Tyler stood there, confused. He’d moved up to stand behind Rex and was holding on to the back of his leg, shielding himself from the stranger who had just spoken his full name.

“On what grounds?” Rex said, flabbergasted. He shifted his stance, further obstructing Ms. Stuart’s view of the little boy. “This must be a mistake.”

“Allegations of possible physical and sexual abuse have been filed with our office, and it is my duty to remove the child while we investigate the charges.
