He was getting annoyed with me by the end of it, actually. But it was for his own good. Hopefully they can really flush this thing out, and the whole mess will be behind us.
We met in Paris and from there we decided to travel. Landed in Dubai for the business convenience and the remarkable view. Who knows where we’ll travel next.
Yes well men can be incredibly stubborn and impossible to deal with. Trust me, I understand.
[ He'd spoken of a French lover before, but a different one, who he had to pretend he was serving. But this one, he's free to travel the world with, and has apparently been with for a long time...there's something weird about it, but what, he couldn't begin to guess. ]
How long?
I do want it. But at this point, I'd settle for any sights beyond the manor. Doesn't have to be that far. I'd like to visit Ireland.
I’ll have to do the math, but don’t tell Armand I didn’t have the number right away. Been long enough I think I’ve lost track and I don’t want him thinking I’ve gone and forgotten now. I hope you get to experience the same one day.
[ it’s easy to deflect, or try to, at least. to think he’s been with armand for seven decades, nearly eight. that they’ve been companions even when companionship felt like an impossible, dangerous, tenuous thing. and here they are. ]
Double dates still happen as far as I know. Haven't been on one myself in a long time. But thankfully I don't usually have to introduce my love with a timeline attached to his name.
Guess you wouldn't need to if you've been together so long that you're not nervous. Or pretending at modesty.
They've got a right to. Somewhat related, do you think the Balfours will be offended if I dress up as George Washington? Are British people still mad about it?
Mm, no real pretending, anyway. But sometimes it's fun to playact at it. Keep life a little entertaining.
George Washington? I don't think the British care much about our independence considering the state of things. They got their own problems to worry about.

you that.

That's what I've heard. From grandparents. Lots of Laughlins over there still that I haven't met.

Date: 2024-08-07 05:31 am (UTC)Ah, of course. Laughlin. It would be an Irish name, wouldn't it?

There’s some dispute from the Scots, apparently. But my family is, yeah.
