Of course Remus wished that Willy loved him. But how could he complain about anything right now? This was all he wanted - what did it matter what Willy said, or maybe even what he felt, when he acted like this?

And even if Willy left him tomorrow - which would destroy him, he thought - he would still be grateful for what he had.

Remus finslly slipped out of Willy so that he could settle more comfortably with Willy wrapped tightly around him. "Thank you again for all the thoughtful gifts. I... I'm touched that you've paid so much attention."
