Carl held out his hand, wincing a bit internally when he saw the flinch and fear of Eithan, but continued on to gently wipe away the tears. Each droplet stabbed through his heart like a dagger. He sighed and cupped his face in one hand, not wanting Eithan to feel trapped anymore. He got even closer and lifted him up, getting him through the door and return to their room where Stanley was sleeping soundly. He set him down on the bed and whispered while brushing through his hair. "What do I do with you Eithan... what can I do to make you love me, make you stay." He looked at him sadly before standing and picking Stanley up.
