Timeline: Season 5 - the bombing
Condom: Emmett
Ben always knew time was precious. Living with HIV taught him as much. He knew all too well the unpredictability of his disease and how quickly it could turn against him. But he took for granted that it was his time that was precious.
Disease or not, there were no guarantees that he would die first. A car accident, heart attack, even a bomb caused by crazy fundamentalists could kill them before the HIV. Tonight was proof of that.
Holding Michael’s hand, Ben realized it was their time that was precious. He vowed never to take that for granted again.
