A garnet flush moves through the bond as Remi’s emotions shift from gold into something warmer and redder, a gently heated breeze stirring through him beneath the press of Ronin’s mouth, until for a few blessed moments there is no goddess, no door, no ache of fatherhood gone briefly sideways, only the familiar impossibility of still being so thoroughly undone by the same man after all these years. When they part, Remi huffs out a small laugh, blinking as if the room has tilted half an inch to the left while his lips remain curved in a helpless, boyishly adoring smile.

Then his smile tilts mischievously, the dimple returning as he shakes his head. "If nothing else, I suppose it might have saved Sunjata the headache."

I can't pass the test,
don't wait for me.
don't wait for me.
