Title: Not Another Romeo and Juliet
Author:
jule1122Prompt: You love me so much
“But she loves me.”
Even through the video connection, Brian hears the conviction and desperation in Gus’s voice.
“You’re only sixteen,” Lindsay begins.
Gus is in love with a waitress at the diner where he buses tables. She’s only twenty, not that much older, but already divorced, raising a three-year-old and an infant with no support. Exactly what Brian doesn’t want for his son.
Brian knows they’re right. Gus is too young and too sheltered to be what she needs; she’ll break his heart. But maybe, Gus is right.
“Justin and I will fly up this weekend to meet her.”
