Malcolm Bright

Malcolm is still sitting on the couch where Tim left him, staring at his phone, trying to decide whether he should reach out to Jeff or let him have space. He’s the one that caused the pain. Does he have the right to go looking to commiserate about it being dragged into the light?

He gets up and absently walks to the door, assuming Tim forgot his keys or something, but the world comes back into sudden focus as he sees Jeff standing there.

“Oh. Hi. Um…” He steps back. “Come in. I was… thinking about calling you.”
