Ironically, Christmas had been what felt like the closest to paradise his relationship with Willy had been. Which was not very long ago, but then... things went back to just as they were before, and tonight was just another reminder. He wouldn't complain. He felt so grateful for what he had. But he did know that how desperately in love with Willy he was... was not reciprocated.

Perhaps a little past tipsy now, he said, "He's probably with someone else right now."
