Vincent folded his newspaper and set it aside, focusing his attention on Elliot. “Anything, son. What’s on your mind?”
Elliot hesitated, his fork paused mid-air. “What would you do if something happened to me?”
Vincent chuckled, though the question caught him off guard. “I’d do everything in my power to make it right. I’d move mountains if I could. But why do you ask?”
Elliot shrugged. “Just wondering. You always say you can fix anything.”
Vincent nodded, reaching over to ruffle his son’s hair. “And I mean it. But you have to promise me you’ll stay out of trouble, alright?”
Elliot grinned, the kind of grin that lit up his eyes. “I promise, Dad.”
