Okay, apparently there were still things that could catch David off guard. In this case he froze with his drink halfway to his mouth, and just stared.
"Forgive me," he says when he puts the cup back down. He knows that was probably the wrong way to act. "I'm just used to you and Kyle being a thing. How devoted to him you are. The idea of four men in your life sort of blows my mind. And makes me realize I'm really failing at the whole idea of romance."
But that last part is clearly spoken with a self-deprecating edge, laughing lightly. Then he finally takes another sip of his coffee and nods.
"That would be complicated. But I could complicate your life, by sharing information. Or could have, were it not for the fact that you already know. But if you are happy in your here and now and you cannot leave your here and now even if you wanted to, then you take time. A few more days, to yourself. Take those memories and work through them. Talk to the important men in your life, be honest with them. Very little in the world is solved by secrecy. Trust me."
