There were times that Hadyn hated Carlos' parents with every fiber of his being, this was one of those times. To watch confidence drain from a man who had everything in the world to be confident in himself...to diminish and shrink. He wanted to put Felipe five feet under, and perhaps knock some sense into a mother who did as much damage by staying as anything else.

"Well, I suppose the only thing I can do now is ask if you need anything from me." Hadyn said, looking at the table a moment. How much he wanted to just protect Carlos, he thought. Was that normal? Wanting to shield someone else's child? No, the difference was that Carlos was as much his as the Sanchez's right? He'd practically raised that boy after all. "You need only ask if you need anything. We'll always be there for you, you know that right?"
