"There sure are a lot more people here then there were at the funeral," Other David said, surveying the crowd at Tristan's memorial at The Pitstop.

"'I'm surprised Josh isn't here," David said, sipping his drink.

"Oh, really?" Other David scowled.

"That's not what I meant."

"Then what did you mean?"

"That he was friends with Tristan too. He should be here."

Other David chugged his drink. "Maybe I told him not to come."

"What? Why?"

"Because I didn't want to see him."

"I told you, nothing happened."

"Yeah, but you wanted it to happen. You broke down on the side of the road... "

"But nothing happened. That's the point. I've been the perfect boyfriend all week."

"Out of guilt. Not out of anything real. It's not you."

"What's happening to us?"

"Why didn't you just do it, David? I would never have found out."

"I told you. Because I love you. And if I didn't love you, I wouldn't have told you at all."

"It's just... you wanted to."

David looked down. "I did."

"That means something's not quite... "

"Does it have to mean anything?"

"Yeah. Maybe you should do it. Get it out of your system."

David almost dropped his drink.
