    Summary

    Charles had learned early not to get attached to things that didn’t stay.

    At eighteen, he survived the streets.
    At twenty-seven, he built something steady.
    At twenty-eight, someone left a six-month-old baby at his door with a note that said, He’s yours.

    Now Charles has to decide what it means to keep something.
    And Max, who was never meant to be permanent, has to decide whether he’s staying too.
