"Prom and I don't talk about feelings. It's never been necessary between us. I think... It upset him to hear I loved someone enough to want a relationship. But once he realized it was you, his temper defused completely. He even chided me for not beginning with that."

He chuckled softly, shaking his head at the memory.

"That said, you are someone I treasure, Silvio. It might take a little time, but I'm working on finding a rhythm that will work for all of us. I don't want either of you to feel like an afterthought."
