Chapter 75

“He’ll probably get sick of seeing both of us, but hey, it’s his fault. He insisted I talk to you in the first place.” David blew a kiss in what he thought was my direction, saying, “I love you.”

“Back at you, forever.”

“You don’t. He said ‘Back at you, forever’. It was never ‘I love you, too’. It was always ‘Back at you, forever’. And I knew he did love me.” David smiled. “I know you do, Tonio.” With that said, he went back inside the club.

“Are you okay?” Jon asked.

“Yeah, I think so. At least he knows I’m around, if he needs me. I have the feeling he’s all right too, now. Not great. It’ll take a while until he is, but he’ll get there, which is all I want for him.”
