章 160: Long Distant Call

"You don't have to ask. Because you see, Dominik is really special. No one else has given me as much affection in life as he has. I… I really love him."

"No way," Nowicki sprang to his feet. "It's late in the evening, you were drinking, and you are far away from home."

"Take it easy, boy, the trains leave every hour."
