Chapter 11

“Kyle.”

Kyle glanced up while slurping the spaghetti into his mouth before chuckling in an obvious embarrassment. “Sorry. What?”

“Have you ever thought what it will be like to live in a different country?”

Kyle shrugged. “Of course.”

“And?”

“Maybe someday when I can afford to,” Kyle answered before sipping on the wine. “Are we talking about a permanent move? Or something more temporary?”

Clement hesitated for a brief moment. “Permanent.”

“Like a change in citizenship?”

“Something like that.”

Kyle was quiet for a minute or so. “I think I’ll be fine with that as long as I have enough money to visit my parents often.”

“Your parents don’t want to reside elsewhere?”

“I don’t think so. They love living in California.”

Clement slowly nodded. “I see.”

“Yeah.”

“Are they…uh, are they okay with your sexuality?”

Kyle chuckled. “Yeah. There’s a funny story behind my coming out actually.”

“Share with me.”
