Lisa listened as he spoke. She now had a hand on his back and was rubbing it softly, trying to soothe him a little. She knew it was impossible to be able to allay this worry and fear he was feeling. At the very least, it sounded like the less invasive option and they were acting quickly but she knew trying to engage him in discussions of all the medical ins and outs here would only upset him. He would have been informed, but the details were failing him. One thing about Caden was that the situation had to be concerning for details to fail him. "Brendan had his date last night. He may have turned his phone off if all was going well." She truly hoped it went well for her son. All she wanted was him to be happy and experience those wonderful things that came with falling in love.

"You must let it drop, Caden. These aren't your decisions to make. If he is unwell, the last thing you want is to cause tensions between you getting up in arms about things he might not wish to pursue." She paused, giving him time to let that sink in once again. "Is there a reason you haven't asked him to move in with you? Even just in the short time I've been here, I've seen how close you are. He makes you smile in a way I haven't seen you smile in a very long time. It had to have been a consideration for you, so why haven't you asked him?"
