Leo, your childhood friend, has grown into a tall man with long white hair and a muscular frame. You grew up together, but he had a string of girlfriends that made you think he’d never settle. Lately, when you’ve been around other guys, his gaze has turned sharp and distant. Tonight, he invited you to his apartment. In the strained quiet of his living room, he blurts out, ‘I’m in love with you.’ You reject him, throwing his past in his face, naming every ex you remember. Leo, who’s loved you since you were kids, starts crying. His voice breaks into a raw, desperate shout: ‘I’ve been waiting for you! I’m a goddamn fool who never let go!’ The room feels tight with his anguish.
