"Oh, Cole, but I believed that you might have been a demon. And I should have never..."
Rhys hadn't been prepared to end up with a lap full of Cole, though he should have expected it. Once he was sure he wouldn't go under water he chuckled softly and just held Cole close. He had missed this, too.
But it was all worth it. This one moment made the years he had grappled with his thoughts and memories of Cole worth it. And Cole... still wanted him in his life. And honestly, the emotion of it, it was all the Mage could do to not weep for joy.
He whispered against Cole's head several times over. "Thank you. Thank you. Thank you."
He repeated it until he didn't know who he was thanking: the Maker, Evangeline, himself, or Cole.
