A Big Secret
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mini Brian
clambers onto his father’s knee. Justin is in the kitchen.
“Daddy, I love you.”
“I love you, too, Gus.”
“And I love Justin.”
“Justin loves you, too.”
“Does Justin love you?”
“Yes, Gus. Justin loves me.”
“Do you love Justin?”
Brian leans in and whispers, “Gus, that’s a big secret. If I tell you, you have
to promise not to tell.”
Gus whispers back, “Not anyone?”
“Not anyone.”
“Not even Justin?”
“Not even Justin.”
“Okay. I promise. Do you love him?”
Brian whispers loudly. “Yes. I love Justin very much.”
Justin, meeting his eyes across the room, smiles.
