Real Partner in Life
After separating from his cousin, David had many things to think about. There were so many that his head and heart were in a muddle. Some thoughts were as sweet as honey, while others evoked an unpleasant bitterness in him. Still others were bittersweet.
Gustav surprised him with a proposal to leave. He sparked his imagination and enthusiasm. Such a trip together to such a romantic place will be really special. A week or a month, it's all the same if you are with someone you care about. This is a great opportunity to get to know Gustav better. A chance to spend quiet time with him, just with him, without having to watch out for other people's stares and thoughts.
Not that David was paying too much attention to them now, but he was paying attention nonetheless.
This was the bitterness of his heart.
