Better this Way?

Gustav could not find a place for himself.

When he made the decision to have David return to Poland without him, he was sure that he was doing the right thing, but now doubts came over him.

Of course, he couldn't fly with him, but after all, he could keep him.

Yes, he could. He wanted to. But...

It would be better this way, he convinced himself. It will be better for David, who won't have to watch his boyfriend being dragged around police stations as a suspect in a murder case.

Gustav trembled.

It would be better for him because he wouldn't have to tell David the truth about the fact that he had probably killed a man.

But still, he longed to be with David. He needed him. Because without him...

He was in a dilemma. He no longer knew what was better, what was worse. He didn't know anything anymore. It was just that every minute away from David, every second, his heart was more restless. It was as if David was a refuge for him.
