Can I say something?'<br />'Go on'<br />'I'm a little drunk'<br />'Me too. That's okay.'<br />'Just....I missed you, you know.'<br />'I missed you too.'<br />'But so, so much, Dexter. There were so many things I wanted to talk to you about, and you weren't there-'<br />'same here.'<br />'I tell you what it is. It's.....When I didn't see you, I thought about you every day, I mean EVERY DAY in some way or another-'<br />'same here.'<br />'-Even if it was just "I wish Dexter could see this" or "Where's Dexter now?" or "Christ that Dexter, what an idiot", you know what I mean, and seeing you today, well, I thought I'd got you back - my BEST friend. And now all this, the wedding, the baby- I'm so happy for you, Dex, but it feels like I've lost you again.'-<br /><br />-'You know what happens you have a family, your responsibilities change, you lose touch with people'<br />'It won't be like that, I promise.'<br />'Do you?'<br />'Absolutely'<br />'You swear? No more disappearing?'<br />'I won't if you won't.'<br />Their lips touched now, mouths pursed tight, their eyes open, both of them stock still. The moment held, a kind of glorious confusion.
