"I can’t decide whether that’s wonderfully poetic, or terribly sad," Jonathan says, propping his chin into his hand as he’s watching Gethin carefully.
Gethin snorts and shakes his head. “Well, back then that seemed like paradise. And sometimes it is. But I could do with a little less homophobic graffiti and loneliness.”
"Loneliness," Jonathan repeats, incredulously. "You can’t be serious. Every gay organization in London is having their meetings in your backroom."
Gethin pulls up his shoulders. He suddenly feels like he’s said too much. “You can be lonely in a room full of people,” he says defensively.
Jonathan looks at him for a long moment, then he nods. “Of course you can,” he simply says, and pours them more wine.
