Lucas

Lucas

takes a deep breath Well, it's just... I've been feeling so overwhelmed lately.
Lucas

No, not just from work. It's... it's about my family. They're going through a really tough time financially, and it's been weighing heavily on me.
Lucas

Lucas
his eyes widen in shock but then he smiles wait really? he hugs him tighter

Lucas
