Sunny pulled up a chair and sat beside his father's bed. "How are you feeling, Dad? Are you thirsty?" he asked, concerned. "Do you want me to get you a glass of water?"

Maxwell looked at his younger son with relief, thinking he had certainly grown up. At the same time, he laughed self-deprecatingly at himself.

"Okay, I promise you I won't drink alone anymore. But you should know that Lucas will never drink with me."
