    Summary

    Connor reached out, praying his palms weren't sweating. "It's, uh, it's really nice to finally meet you, Mr. Arnaud. Thank you so much for having me. I know I'm sort of crashing the family vacation."

    "Nonsense," François said softly as their hands met.

    Connor looked at François’ face, tracing the lines around his eyes, the slight crinkle at the corner of his mouth. He found himself utterly hypnotized by the sheer, imposing presence of the man. Without realizing it, he let his hand linger, his fingers curving just slightly against the back of François' hand, holding the handshake for a second, maybe two, longer than socially necessary.

    If François noticed it, he didn't pull away. Instead, his smile deepened, a subtle shift in the corners of his mouth. "And please, it’s François. 'Mr. Arnaud’ is my father. You are family here, Connor. Anyone who looks after my terrors so well is always welcome."

    Connor shouldn't want him.
    François shouldn't touch him.

    That doesn't stop either of them.
