They would probably always have slips and screw-ups between them, being the individuals they are and having such a complicated connection, but despite that, Cliff is sure that for as long as they're both around, he's going to want Héctor in his life.

Kevin would always apologize for calling when he couldn't get to sleep because of the time difference, especially if he'd already called after school. I'd do almost anything to get woken up like that now.
