“Don’t worry about the other guests,” Pablo said after a few seconds of weird, tense silence between him and Keenan. “I’ll keep you company throughout the night. I’ll even inform you of the annoying guests you have to avoid as much as possible.”
Keenan rubbed Pablo’s arm lightly before kissing the top of his head. “Thanks, babe, and I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to…you know. The words just came out.”
Pablo squeezed Keenan’s thigh a couple of times in what he hoped was a soothing manner. “It’s fine. You put up with my shit, and I’ll do the same with yours.”
Keenan grunted before chuckling softly. “Deal.”
