Sure. I know. [There's an uncomfortable pause.]

I don't - really mind who you're sleeping with, doc. So it's okay.

You're okay?

[abrightboy]

[There's palpable relief in him at that.]

I'm not... the best, but I'll be okay. Thank you. For being there for me. I hope I can be here for you when you need someone.

[creeksidealtarboy]

Yeah, it's alright. It's fine.

Don't worry, huh? Go do something fun.

[abrightboy]

Thanks. What do you recommend?

[creeksidealtarboy]

I don't know. What do you like? Go solve a crime or something. That what you cop-types do?

[abrightboy]

One of the cops I worked with at home called it my hobby. [A recollection that clearly amuses him.]

[creeksidealtarboy]

Shit, really? I was just teasing.

[He laughs.]

You're a freak, doc. Take up chess or something.

[abrightboy]

[He laughs.] She was teasing too!

[At the suggestion, he perks up.] I have a chess set! Want to play some time?

[creeksidealtarboy]

Don't know how, so you'll have to teach me.

[abrightboy]

I’d be happy to!

[Aaron, you make him feel like a big brother.]

[creeksidealtarboy]

Don't make it weird.

[But he laughs and then hangs up.]
