It helped.
It really did.
But only a little. As much as he loved Ricky, the bear wasn’t enough.
Not on nights like this.
Not when he was broken and couldn’t figure out exactly why; when his nerves were jangled and he was a hair’s breadth away from crying.
No, on nights like this, only one thing could settle him.
But his partner wasn’t there.
And he wouldn’t be for a while yet.
So for now, Ricky helped – some.
Until the door swished open and after just one look, strong arms encircled him.
And in the morning, things were better.
