Winston grabbed his medication bag and took it over to stiffly sit on the rim of the bath, feeling like every joint in his boy was on fire. "So, can I please swap whatever the fuck this is," he gestured halfheartedly to himself, "for everything you just said? Because even just one of those things sounds glorious. You've really given this a lot of thought, huh? That's really sweet. If it's any consolation, I didn't really do any of that with Romeo. He couldn't make Ree and Ky's wedding because of work and... well... that was pretty much a theme in our relationship. Don't get me wrong, he and I didn't end on a bad note or anything. We're still friends and stay in touch but it was just this kinda mutual understanding that it was over and he was headed in one direction while I was happy staying in the place I already was. Just, throughout it when we were together, there wasn't a lot of time to prioritise romance. I can already feel with you that it's naturally a priority for you. That I know for you and Ree, it was a similar situation because everything hit the ground running with Footloose and no one expected it to explode the way it did, or for Justin to take the world by storm. Setting aside the fact I'm sitting here trying not to heave and probably look like I've been dragged through a hedge backwards, as my gran used to say, so it's not the best circumstances to be making this point, but romance is something that's really important to me too."
