“That’s amazing.”
“I agree,” Javier said while shifting a bit closer to Hugo. “There’s something else I’ve been meaning to ask you.”
“What’s that?”
“My friends.”
“What about them?”
“Can we have lunch or dinner with them next week?”
Hugo shrugged. “Of course. You can meet my friends, Jade and Madison, after that.”
“The married couple, right? The one with the adopted kids?”
“Just one. His name is Bruce.”
“Right.”
“Yeah.”
Then Javier sipped on his juice, and he observed as Hugo did the same thing he did. The coffee shop was filled with the sound of people chatting with one another while they waited for the next performer to get ready on the makeshift stage.
“Do you want children?”
“Maybe someday. With you.”
Javier was incredibly pleased to hear that. “Me, too.”
Hugo chuckled. “You want to have children with yourself?”
Javier rolled his eyes. “Oh, fuck off!”
