Laurent didn't like
The look on Peter's face.
** You didn't come home **
-- No --
** Where were you ?
I called work **
-- Why ? --
** You called in sick.
A cold, they said.
Is that his name, " cold " ? **
-- Peter, for fuck's sake.
I'm a grown ass man.
I can do ..... --
Seriously ?
We're going there ?
OK, then.
-- I stayed at Larry's --
** Larry. That's his name. **
-- Yes. Look, we agreed ..... --
It still hurt,
Both of them.
** I know, I'm sorry.
Everything,
It's just all ...... **
Peter looked around,
Lost.
Laurent felt for him,
He really did.
-- Yeah, I know.
And I AM sorry ...... --
** I know **
A small silence,
Emotion, hurt,
Palpable,
Awkward.
-- I um ..... need to pack --
** Need help ? **
-- No, thanks, I'm good.
Not much to pack. --
** Will you go to ..... **
-- No ....... No.
An aparthotel. Until I can find
An apartment. --
Peter grimaced,
Really ?
Not great, in fact,
Awful.
But, what else was there ?
Laurent liked his other choice,
To be with Larry.
It just wasn't ......
Sensible right now.
Sensible.
He had always been
Sensible.
He took care,
Maybe, too much care.
With everything,
With his clothes,
His work,
His relationships,
His feelings.
