“Well, he may not want to break us up, but I don’t think he’d mind comin’ between us, if y’know what I mean.”
Look, Airy, you’d put it right there for him. He was even going to dare a bit of a wicked smile. Comin’ between us. Eh? Eh?
He let his effort to lighten the mood linger in the air for a moment before going on.
“Yeah... a bit too often.” It was hard to explain what made it feel like that. He wasn’t exactly bothered by the sex itself. More... more the framing of it. “I mean, I’m not one to put up much resistance to temptation, most days. And people here, they don’t seem to put stock in any sort of commitment whatsoever. One person... I asked if it bothered her that I had a girlfriend, and she laughed in me face. Bloody brutal, now that I’m thinkin’ about it.”
He didn’t know what to add to that, beyond: “I’m sorry, Airy. I shoulda known better.”
