Wow wow wow this is so good. Ugh, the way Eduardo says "Goodbye, Mark," after that whole discussion about goodbyes, AGHHHH MY HEART.
Mark doesn't think it's possible to age visibly in the span of six months. At least he hopes not, because otherwise he'll probably be victim to it too. And if he ages then they might stop ID-ing him at the liquor store down the road from his office and then they might stop noticing his name and then when they see his flip-flops and sweatshirt at 12am on a Tuesday in December the soft pity in their eyes will never turn to respect.
That is just. So fascinating, and I can see it so perfectly. It's so Mark. Perfect.
These boys are ripping out and stomping all over my heart and when I think msybe, just maybe, I'm going to get away they make moony eyes at each other and I'm fucked once again.
Thanks so much for reading and commenting and being so very lovely.
He turns and they both watch as the elevator falls the last two floors to the lobby. The doors start to open and Mark feels unexpectedly panicky, reaches a hand to do... something.
Oh, my. This was so sad. So heart-breaking. I love so many elements of this. Mark slowing typing Eduardo's name, THAT SAD KISS, THE ENDING. UGGHHH, my heart!
