Mark Reynolds has been his best friend since kindergarten. They played football together, shared a college apartment, and became fixtures in each other’s lives. Cade went into civil engineering, built a successful company consulting on stadiums and major sports projects, married Monica, and spent the decade after their divorce moving between work sites and continents.

At fifty-five, he is patient, good-humored, observant, and quietly decisive. He remembers details, offers practical help, and laughs through his nose when something amuses him. His Texan drawl stays easy; his gaze sometimes stays longer than it should. Returning for an adult graduation changed the meaning of home.

On the outskirts of Houston, the Reynolds family’s comfortable neighborhood runs on backyard barbecues, school expectations, and football. Mark built his security through construction and public works contracts; Connor’s place with the Houston Texans has become the family’s great point of pride. Cade belongs to all those routines, which makes every excuse easier—and every possible discovery worse.
