Aiden pushed his hand through his hair as he stepped aside and let Luke into his hotel room. “Shouldn’t you be looking after Tab?” he pointed out tiredly.
“She’s with Riley. Riley’s girlfriend is there. I’m good at multitasking,” Luke said with a shrug. He went to the mini bar and took out two cans of Coke, handing one to his friend. “I figured you’d be over here brooding. You’re staying in Princeton, so either Pat gave a little or he gave nothing and you’re going back to give it another shot in the morning.”
With a roll of his eyes, Aiden took the can and snapped it open. He dropped down onto the end of the bed with a heavy sigh. “Genius,” he muttered sarcastically. “I wasn’t going to just fuck off and leave him in hospital. Especially not after…”
“After he told you,” Luke finished.
Aiden’s face fell again. “Yeah. I mean, fuck. Just fuck.” His fingers threaded through his hair again and he stared at his feet, the barrage of thoughts swirling in his mind again.
( Luke gave Aiden a moment with his thoughts while he sipped his drink. The turmoil was evident in his friend’s eyes and tone of voice, not to mention his blond hair sticking up every which way from all the distracted finger-threading... )
