Out Of Time
Christopher ran as fast as possible to the station. Typical, leaving it to the last minute.
He kept hoping Brian would say something first. Even if it wasn't I'm sorry, the simple act of reaching out would have encouraged Christopher to admit the accusations had been out of line. He can't help his sensitive heart, and sometimes Brian was the victim.
Now Brian is on the train to Boston. Now Brian is marrying the ex he'd left for Christopher. Now Brian is dead.
The apology will forever go unstated. He will forever be alone. Christopher has fallen out of time.
