“It’s not so bad, is it?” Justin asked in a light, teasing voice a few minutes later as the two of them were driving away from Oliver and Martha’s house.
Blake beamed at Justin and shook his head. “No. Not bad at all.”
Then he grabbed onto Justin’s hand for the remainder of the journey back to his house. After such an incredible start to the day, he was looking forward to spending the rest of his Saturday and also the following day with Justin. He had been searching for stability and comfort all his life, and he found that in Justin. Their relationship was smooth and steady so far, and he couldn’t stop himself from envisioning a future with the two of them together until their hair was snowy white and brittle. He had experienced enough unpleasant things in his younger years. Maybe things were about to go his way for once.10
