#Chapter230
As midnight touched down on the Elmore household, Ronan decided to call it a night. The few hours he'd had with his family, catching up, joking and laughing, it wasn't enough, but his parents were tired, and he knew he had tomorrow.
He smothered his mom in a crushing hug, squeezing her so tight, squealing into the embrace when she returned the pressure, and dropped a kiss on her cheek. His dad got a one armed hug, and he got a semi-awkward pat on the back in return. Raven, who'd turned up the charm to impossible levels, got a hug from his mother, which he rewarded with a dazzling smile, and a firm handshake from his dad.
