The funny thing was that the whole group of them had circled around each other for years. Alex had mainly been friends with Maria and Liz. And then there'd been Michael. Liz had dated Kyle until he finally showed off his asshole colors - and thank god he was over that phase. But you also couldn't help but see that Max was head over heels for Liz. And then, of course, there were Michael and Max and Liz.
But there'd been combinations that had never really happened. He'd never been anything more than passing acquaintances with Max and Isobel and so he didn't know their parents. But right at that moment, he was cursing them in his head. For giving up on a child who was clearly attached to the ones they'd adopted. And they had no way of knowing if they were related or not.
He'd been trying to keep himself detached, trying to keep a distance between them so that Michael could tell his story, but at this he found himself reaching out to grab Michael's hand and hold it in his.
"People suck," was his succinct response to the entire situation and he squeezed Michael's hand.
