Ernie was relieved to know that Terry wasn’t mad at him. He moved even closer to Terry and bent over to whisper into his ear. “Well not completely alone…” He looked over to Ben. “…but maybe we can be sometime soon.” He looked longingly into Terry’s eyes. They hadn’t truly been alone since the time they spent recovering at Ernie’s estate. Although Ernie loved Ben…it still would be nice to have some adult time. Ernie knew that Terry was busy with school but couldn’t he find some time off? He pushed that thought directly to the back of his mind. Their relationship was going really well and he didn’t want a petty feeling like that to get in the way.
