Drawing in a breath, Brian turned back toward Max, his lips pressed into a thin line. When he reached a hand out toward Max, beckoning him closer, he hesitated, but only because he didn't want to admit to himself that it hurt, just a little, that Max had sought out comfort in the bottom of a bottle instead of with him. Christ, he was fucking losing it.
