‘Tracker! Leave Tommy alone!’ Channing laughed, the sight of Tracker excitedly demanding to play with Tommy making everyone chuckle.
The whole gang was at Frisco Frolics, a cocktail bar on the beach front that happily catered to dogs, healthy snack lovers, and those who wanted a drink with a little more kick too.
Channing could see that Tommy and Rick were having a fun time talking to Harrison and Michael, and he couldn’t help but wonder what the future held for them. Whatever happened in the romantic lives of his close friends though, Channing was safe and secure in his own relationship with Max.
‘Hey, what do you think?’ Channing said, taking a drink from Max and motioning over toward the flirty antics of Tommy, Rick, Harrison and Michael. ‘Could be something there…’
‘Maybe,’ Max laughed. ‘But that’s their business! Let’s focus on us. It’s been quite a ride, but we got there in the end, kid.’
‘I know. You’ve made me so happy,’ Channing said, staring into Max’s soulful eyes. ‘I heard the police caught up with Judd and arrested him?’
‘Yup,’ Max said, a serious look on his face. ‘Judd is going to be going away for quite some time. I hope he uses it wisely too. It’s not too late for him to turn his life around, but he has to want to change. That’s something that I’ve learned recently. Change doesn’t just happen, you have tomakeit happen. Right?’
Channing nodded in agreement.
It felt so good to see Max comfortable and at ease with himself.
Max was still a fun loving and outgoing Daddy, but Channing sensed on a deep level that Max had an inner belief in himself now that meant his wild days of ups and downs were behind him.
‘Hey, I think Tracker might be trying to tell us something?’ Channing giggled, the sight of Tracker nudging his big, handsome face into the middle of their cuddle making both Channing and Max laugh.
‘I think it might be time for an evening walk on the beach,’ Max said, taking Channing’s hand in his.
As the three of them stepped out of the Frisco Frolics outdoor area and onto the sand together, there was a feeling of perfect harmony.
Everything had worked out as it should, and their lives had been enhanced in the most perfect way.
Channing had fought for his dream job and found true love and his Forever Daddy in Max.
Max had realized that it was time to change up for good and settle down with his one true baby boy too.
And not forgetting Tracker of course, the big dog with a heart of gold – and now the proud owner of two doting human parents!
As the sun began to set on Los Frisco, Channing realized that while his life was complete in so many ways, the good times wereonly just beginning.
Epilogue
The weeks and months that followed were full of hard work, joy, and lots and lots of laughs for both Channing and Max.
As a Daddy and Little, their lives were perfectly matched. Their similarities perfectly complimented their differences, and there was never a dull day between them.
Channing’s time as VP at Green Sky Future got off to a good start as he won a new investment contract from a Japanese firm with a keen interest in environmental technology. It could turn into a gamechanger for Green Sky Future, and Los Frisco in general.
Suddenly, Channing was finding that his name was being spoken about all over the West Coast. His career was well and truly taking off and felt like it could enter the stratosphere at any moment.
With this in mind, Mr. Appleseed, the Green Sky Future CEO, decided to offer Channing a new, improved contract.
Worried about other firms sniffing around and trying to poach Channing, it seemed like the right thing to do from a business point of view.
Of course, Channing was delighted with the new deal – and the fact that it allowed him to put some money intoBark Buddieswas just perfect.
Speaking ofBark Buddies, Max was going from strength to strength.
Not only had his investment been transformative and allowed them to acquire the adjoining land without the need for further borrowing, but Max was proving to be a useful addition when it came to brainstorming for future improvements.
Max was learning all the time, and even thought back to his old days at college for inspiration from time to time. He may never have graduated his Masters, but that didn’t mean the experience was a total waste of time. And of course Max had his original Princeford University degree to fall back on too - which was especially useful when talking to potential investors.
Max and his fellow Ivy League Daddies Harrison and Michael were much closer now too. Truly, the old Princeford U trio were reunited, and Max had a feeling that a whole set of new adventures were awaiting them.
Max and Channing enjoyed having Tracker living with them so much that the trial run became permanent after only three days.
Both of them knew that they wanted to give Tracker his forever home – but the lack of a sizeable garden was something that had to be looked at.
Fortunately, with Channing’s new earning power, they were able to buy a new house, one that came with plenty of space in a large, well-maintained garden that even came with a pool for them, and Tracker too of course, to swim in.
Everything was good for Channing and Max, Tracker, and of course Billy the stuffie too.
The only question was who else would find their forever love in Los Frisco?
This was a city of excitement, drama, and big money moves, but there was always room for true romance between a Little and his Daddy – all you had to do for proof of that was look at Channing and Max and their perfect Los Frisco love.
