Evan couldn't see Connor nod, but that didn't mean he didn't sense it. He could almost picture it. The lightness of Connor's tone helped to convey it, whether it was real or not. Evan had a fairly robust image of Connor in his mind, after all.
"When I first, what I saw Adam the, the first time? He said a month. Maybe, maybe soon, I guess." But they hadn't set a specific date. Adam had given him a timeframe said they'd work it out after a couple weeks. Evan could tell his bones had healed, he had almost no pain, aside from the ache that came from the cold.
Evan missed Connor terribly. He curled up in his bed every night, bundled down under the covers, wishing Connor was there with him. He'd slept so fully, so completely and deeply for the first time in a very long time,t hat night Connor had held him. He knew that was awkward, that it wasn't reasonable to expect that Connor would want to hold him again, why should he? But maybe if he was there, next to Evan, maybe that would be enough for Evan to sleep.
He only had to get through two more nights. Connor would be back with him Saturday. He felt a little thrill when he realised that was only two days. Less than 48 hours, actually.
"I can't, can't wait. Till you, till you're home, I mean."
