Chapter 43

Whenever Psalm found the time, he'd call Felix. Since they couldn't be with each other physically, this was one way Felix learned to cherish his boyfriend. They couldn't hug or kiss, but at least they could see each other's faces and talk on their phones or laptops. Like now.

"You know, you barely talk about your family," Felix said after Psalm asked him how his family was doing. "I know you mentioned how many siblings you have but... I mean, I've seen pictures of your dad, your mom and your siblings, but that's all."

Felix didn't know whether to assume that Psalm was being secretive or he just never cared to ask, so Psalm never said anything.

"Is there anything in particular you'd like to know?" Psalm asked, unperturbed by the change in topic. He seemed to be lying down on a bed, snuggling into a pillow as he stared at him.
