ODDS OF LOVE - SEASON THIRTEEN

Episode 64

   " When I met you it was raining even on a sunny day. "

Theodore sat at his desk in the bedroom he shared with Sol , looking at his pictures of himself with Alan on his phone.

   " Your love protected me like an umbrella. "

DuBuis rolled over in bed and saw Spencer smiling at him. DuBuis smiled back and leaned forward to claim his husband's lips with a gentle loving kiss.

" I don't want to need you but I do. "

Alan reclined back on his hospital bed holding the stuffed rabbit he secretly named Theo.

" I probably shouldn't love you. "

Nicholas walked Ariel up the long winding rose lined pathway to the front door of her home. Then right before she opened the front door to enter he silently reached out to stroke her lovely face and gently kissed her on her forehead.

" I don't want to lose you. "

Ethan sat on his bed. He stared at a older faded picture of himself with Richard, Claire and Zipp in law school. His eyes drifted from Richard's serious young face over to the more innocent one of Zipp Dennis with his enthusiastic grin.

" When I met you it was raining even on a sunny day. "

Aiden Norris, in his plaid bathrobe over his flannel pajamas, stood with a mug of hot milk at the living room window as he looked out at the Norland - Lane house. He took a long deep sip of the warm milk while remembering the warm feeling that had surged through him when Spencer touched his hand earlier. And he sighed. Just his luck. The first man he was attracted to since Gary would be married with children.

Lewis woke up screaming and drenched with much sweat in his bed. He was still trembling a few seconds later as the door to his room quickly opened with Richard, Nigel and Richie crowding in the doorway, all looking anxiously at him.

Richard stepped into the room and came to sit on the foot of his son's bed. " Lewis. Lewis, are you alright? ," he asked urgently as he reached out to touch him on his shoulder.

Lewis jerked away and wouldn't meet his father's eyes. Or Nigel's and Richie's either. " Yes ! Just go away and leave me alone ! "
