Andrew didn't even wait for the car to fully stop or the garage doors to close before he was out of the car and inside the house. He was running towards the kitchen having just hung up the phone as he rounded the corner and found Maxwell sitting in the same position he had been sitting in when he'd seen him on the video. Only now he had no plate of food in front of him.
Alyssa and Leonardo were around, clearly just to say hi as Andrew barreled towards Maxwell and wrapped his arms around him.
Maxwell looked tired. He looked forlorn. He looked like a damn abandoned cat. It was breaking Andrew's heart as he wrapped his warmth around the man.
"I'm sorry Angel. I'm so so sorry." Andrew murmured. Maxwell's arms went up and clung to Andrew as tightly as the man could muster at the moment. Andrew held him tighter.
