Do you think Joe is ashamed of me?

But if he's ashamed of Julian, how could he not be ashamed of me because I'm married to a man. I'm not gay. Though closed-minded people don't much see the difference. And if they don't, what if he doesn't.

Spectre, I need him to love me.

Joe has always been a friend to me, even a brother, and he's most certainly always been that to you. I just find it hard to believe that it wouldn't have come up before now if he really felt this way. I feel like there must be another influence at work here. As Peter said, Joe does love you. I'm sure of it. We just need to find out what his problem is.

Okay. Okay, yes. We can do that.

I feel like I am ten years old again and Joe's all angry because I took his money. Which was on accident, but he didn't believe me (I thought someone had dropped it, I really did) and he was so disappointed in me and...it's just horrible.

I'm so sorry you're feeling that way, Thomas. But you're not the one to be disappointed in this time. You've done nothing wrong. I absolutely understand where you're coming from, though. There's little worse than feeling marginalised by your own family. I can imagine it's even worse when it comes so unexpectedly.

Yeah. I think I might sleep with James tonight.

Oh, Jesus, please don't think this is because I'm ashamed of you. Never. I just want to be with James. You can be there too.

I didn't think it was about me, but thank you. You're quite right, I think James' presence would be most comforting tonight.

I'm very secure in your love for me, Thomas. But thank you again for making sure. I always appreciate that very deeply. And I love you too.

I just needed to make sure you knew. I think the presence of both of you is the most comforting thing there is.

And it is most certainly reciprocal, my dear husband.
