Days of the Week

MONDAY – Justin calls, a little hurt and defensive, and with nothing really to talk about.

Still, he keeps Brian on the line for a good hour and they make plans. Brian

stays on the line just for the sound of his voice.

TUESDAY – Brian buys the ticket. Justin goes to art shows and tries to sell the dozens

of pictures he painted of the man he loves. Something "comes up" at

Kinnetic.

WEDNESDAY – Brian feels the first tingle of regret. Justin hums happily while he dusts

the apartment and tells his roommate to find something to do on

the weekend.

THURSDAY – Brian returns the ticket. He picks up the phone to let Justin know, then

slowly replaces the receiver.

FRIDAY – Justin goes out for a drink and blows off the boys that hit on him. His

boyfriend is coming.

SATURDAY – Justin buys the food and prepares the bedroom for the visit. He waits for

the call that never comes. Brian goes out clubbing.

SUNDAY – Justin's roommate wishes he would come so that Justin would stop crying,

but doesn't complain because he gets filet mingnon for another week.
