"That’s sad" I wanted to think that my dad would have loved me no matter what my sexual orientation was, but maybe you could never kno someone would react until you actually came out to them

"Yeah Sucks But it’s stupid, because I think a lot of people who knew Trip suspected it about him and would have been really supportive if he’d just trusted us with his secret"

"But if he wasn’t even aduys?"

"True But I think based on how he’s acted around Peter that he’s not in denial anymore At least not totally"

We reached the door and he pulled it open for me

"Don’t be so sure about that," I said "He sure see with the issue the way he dealt with Peter"

"Maybe he’ll get a second chance to le of followers

"I hope so," I said, going over to the alcove where Fohi was still resting

He was still lying down, but decidedly less gray around the mouth His lips actually had color in the, but saying nothing I just glanced at the ure out as going through his head, but I ignored the co hiin’?" I asked, sitting down next to him

"I’m not sure Why don’t you check and see?" He opened his eyes and grinned at me weakly

"Ew, no thanks"

I laughed "No offense, Bee Just not in the ht now, shrunken or otherwise"

"That’s alright," he said "I’irl," said Rob, sitting down next to his friend’s head

Fohi angled himself to look up at Rob "Shut the hell up, dick Just because I’ve got plans for irl, doesn’t ent That’s you, ry?"

"Yeah But I have food already on the way" He s into the alcove

"Here you go, Fohi Room service at your service"

Winky probably had no idea that she was sending Fohi’s heart into a flutter, but there was no oo eyes for her It was too bad that she see more at Rob than anyone else

"Thanks, Winky That’s really nice of you You’re always looking out for led to sit up

Rob helped hi at Winky at all It see but her

"No big deal," she responded "We need to get you better so you can kick soot deet off rabbed a hunk of bread off the plate and bit into it, chewing like a cow

"You’re not going anywhere or doing any of that crap for at least a week or two," said Rob

"Says who? You?" Cru out of Fohi’s mouth "You’re not the boss of me, Rob You’re not even the boss of this kitten" Fohi shifted the sleepy ball of fur froed to curl back up and fall asleep with his claws digging into Fohi’s shirt

"You still aren’t going Try it and I’ll bash you over the head with a shovel"

I lifted my eyebrows at that Rob was seriously worried about his friend Hehis friend unconscious

"Ha You could try, but then you’d better wear a cup the rest of your life I hold a grudge you know" Fohi gnawed off another hunk of stale bread

Rob laughed "Bullshit You couldn’t hold a grudge if your life depended on it"

"Go to hell, Rob You don’t know me as well as you think you do" Fohi looked at Winky "So, you come around here often?"

She snorted "Not if I can help it You want anything else?"

"As a matter of fact …"
