Age did not matter. He had to tell that to himself for the past five years; during two of them always accompanying it the defiant saying that it did, in fact, matter. Ed learned to accept that at some point. Some people firmly believed that it did; age made a lot of difference, and he could feel that – he and Roy had different wishes, they were in different places in life, different experiences and different thoughts – but in his opinion, three years later, it only made things interesting. Others, like Al, said that age was just a number. Ed agreed.
