Friday - September 26th, 2008
Who: Alex and Lloyd
When: Friday Evening
Where: Alex's apartment
What: A conversation
This was not a conversation that he wanted to have, but he needed to. He had given this a lot of thought and while he had every reason in the world to turn his back on his family, he couldn't bring himself to do it. Two wrongs didn't make a right. That's what he had always told his patients. And now he had to recall that lesson for himself. His mother and grandmother couldn't make it on their own. They couldn't survive if he sold the family business, as he had planned to do. So now, it was up to him to head back home and get it back on its feet, and find someone to fill the void that his grandfather's death had left behind. This was the plan. And he had no idea how long it was going to take.
He had asked Lloyd to come over as soon as he was done for the day. He was sure the man thought it would be something fun, something happy, but he was in for a surprise. The least he could do was tell him in person that he was going to leave him, after saying he never would, for an indeterminable amount of time, in order to secure the future of two women who had never given a damn about his own. He didn't expect this to go well, not at all, and he could feel his body tense up the moment he heard the other man's footsteps heading toward his door.
