Re: NYC: Hannah & Hugh
There was a smile, and he wanted to believe he would be a good father. He knew he'd try, should he ever find himself in the situation, but he wasn't entirely certain he'd ever find the opportunity to be at this point, and that was fine.
Hugh glanced up at her question, "Of course? I mean it just feels like he's accepted me as I am, and I don't have to pretend at all, and it's nice, is all. It's really nice to have a friend like that." And in terms of anything else, well, Hugh wasn't asking the question. Theodore was attractive, and it felt as if he got Hugh and had almost from the first meeting, but Hugh also knew Theodore had a ring on his finger, and that said everything, really, and Hugh wasn't remotely interested in falling for someone who wasn't going to be interested in him like that. He wasn't even sure he should be looking for a relationship at all right now.
He squeezed her fingers again, and then he reached to finish off the drink he'd ordered, nodding as she talked. "I think it's good to give yourself that time, and to give them that time. I knew months before I talked to you, you know, and it's hard … to wrap your mind around something you aren't used to considering even as a possibility?" He sat the drink down and started in on his food in earnest having not really been eating this entire time. "Tell me about what that means? How are you feeling about it?"
