Forgiveness and Reconciliation

Consequently, for the next hour or so, Carson had to be patient and discreet as he and Jonas ate the noontime meal together with several other employees on the estate. He chatted and laughed along with everyone. He also contributed to the conversations as much as possible. However, his mind was already drifting elsewhere. He wanted some alone time with Jonas, and the opportunity arose when everyone else finished their food one right after the other and began to walk out from the dining area. Then Jonas excused himself, and Carson followed suit a short moment later. He knew where Jonas would be, and he wasn’t astonished to discover he had guessed correctly. He made his way into Jonas’s office and shut the door behind him before approaching his boyfriend who was standing outside on the veranda. He slipped both arms around Jonas’s waist and pressed his nose gently against the back of his boyfriend’s head. He was delighted when Jonas leaned back against him.
