Chương 88: Chapter 88

??Six million people.??

??I know.??

??There were gypsies, communists and even gays.?? Joey let out a harsh laugh. If they hadn??t have got me for being Jewish, they??d have rounded me up for being queer.??

It was heart rending for Kevin to see such a powerful, dominant man in so much pain. ??I suppose we ought to be glad that we don??t live in the 1930s and 40s.??

??Suppose so.??

Joey still lay on his side, facing away. Manoeuvring himself under his lover, Kevin positioned Joey??s head so it rested on his chest. Remembering how relaxed he always felt when Joey stroked his hair, Kevin decided he??d try the same in reverse. It seemed to pay off, because Joey slowly began to relax and lean back.

??Thanks, Pup.??

Kevin kissed the top of Joey??s head before saying, ??It??s what I??m here for.??

??That??s supposed to be my job.?? Much to Kevin??s relief, his lover was sounding more peaceful.
