Zach tried to focus on the cigarette, which was growing short far too quickly for how stressed he still was. And how could Colin not know? Zach loved him, and he tried so hard to make sure Colin knew. Well, there had been...that time when he'd tried to get Colin to leave him, after coming off the potion, because...because he wasn't good enough for Colin. Colin was way better than him and deserved better. Like Justin, who he had. Wasn't this maybe showing that?
So Zach nodded a little, glad for Theo's advice. He made stuff make more sense. "Do you think your parents loved each other...and told each other?" Zach asked. His parents...he didn't know. They got along well enough, but he wasn't convinced they were actually in love.
