Caden didn't reply. He knew it was sometimes best to keep his mouth shut to save further damage being caused. Everyone was high emotionally and he didn't want Charles to hear the pair fighting from the bedroom. So he kept hunting for his glasses and watched Alan leave with a heavy sigh escaping from him. His body still felt weak and his anxiety was high due to the weight he felt being put on his shoulders from the current events. Not only did he have his work to worry about, he also had Alan and Charles fighting with one another and trying to bring the other down. How could he explain all this to Chalres?<br/><br/>He wondered up to the bedroom door and froze looking at Charles wide eyed in surprise when the door suddenly opened in front of him. "Oh sorry... I didn't want to disturb you" he said lowering his hand back to his side. He was finding it hard knowing where to look. Guilt was eating away at him and he hated keeping Charles in the dark, but the don sounded like he really was wanting to get things back to where they'd been before he left. "Charles... I'm sorry, you shouldn't need to deal with all of this... You've done nothing wrong in my eyes so there isn't anything to forgive or make up for. I haven't been loyal or good while you've been away and - I want to speak to you before we start today. Please" he started playing with the material on his robe and finally brought his eyes up to meet Charles with a weak smile. "You aren't going to like what's happened... I know that. But I need to tell you so I know how you feel about all this. I'm guessing you have a hint... But I just need you to listen before we start".<br/><br/>But where was a good place to start? He felt pressured with Alan here and Charles back. There was no way he could make both of them happy without hurting one of them and he had nobody to blame but himself. When Charles stepped aside Caden felt hesitant to move. What if he lost Charles, or Alan and Charles finally went at one another? He couldn't bare watching the pair fighting. But he was trying to remind himself whatever their reactions would be were completely out of his control. So he slowly stepped into the room and nodded his head. "I'd like us to still work as normal if you're okay and happy to do so. I really don't want to lose you Charles. But first I need you to know what's happened before we can continue" he said moving over to the bed and sitting down on the edge, patting the space beside him to ask Charles to sit. He knew the giant would probably keep his distance, but Caden just wanted to be close. To have those protective arms around him and to know everything was going to be okay again. He felt like everything was falling apart around him and it was the worst feeling anyone could have.<br/><br/>"What do you remember me texting you about on the first day? I guess we can start from there?"
