Bab 50: Chapter 50

Hearing the muted noise of the TV, Joey headed for the living room. He spied Kevin curled up at one end of the sofa, his head resting on his drawn-up knees. Joey remained in the doorway for a few moments watching the changing light from the TV screen as it played across Kevin??s face. His heart began to ache. He??d hurt the most precious thing in his life. Kevin was just so sweet, constantly giving out love and expecting little in return.

Joey suddenly sneezed, which caused Kevin to jump. Kevin??s moist brown eyes looked up, searching Joey??s face. The older man had a good idea what he was seeking.

Walking to the front of the settee, Joey sank to his knees in front of Kevin. Taking hold of his lover??s hands, Joey looked up into those deep, trusting eyes. ??I??m sorry. I shouldn??t have shouted at you. I know you were only trying to care for me, and I really appreciate that. I??m not myself lately, but that??s no excuse.??
