Sometime later Ward jerked awake. Tyler was still sleeping. Ward looked at his watch—4:30. He hadn’t meant to sleep that long. But it had been so wonderful to be with Tyler again. He got up, put on his briefs, and carefully gathered his clothes. Making sure none of his belongings were left behind, he gently kissed Tyler and made his way to Jack’s room.
The door to Eddie’s room was slightly ajar. Was it that way when me and Tyler went to bed? Hadn’t Tyler pulled it shut? Ward wondered. Not able to remember, he used the bathroom, went into Jack’s room, and lay down on the bed.
Ward pulled a pillow against his chest. He took a deep breath, kissed the pillow, and whispered, “I love you, Tyler. It’s so good to be home.”
