to see Horu crying so hard was sad for James. Even when he calmed down a little more, his wife was still hiccupping like a small child. He remembered old times ,when tehy were still only boyfriends, he had seen Horu cry so hard adn at the time he had been so gentle to him, playing tricks on him and talking about goofy and funny stuff so much until horu finally smiled through his tears. He could no longer do that... but he was willing to make him feel better. He rubbed his back and soothed him. "it's ok, it's ok... it would be alright... everythign would be alright." James just kept talking, but he didn't know what he was indeed trying to say, he just wanted to sooth his wife.

It was a little while later when Horu had calmed down, and he could still feel how tightly Horu was clutching his shirt. His wife was so insecure, and it showed that Horu still lvoed him very much for not letting him go. His soft declaration of love was moving, touching, and finally James had the courage to ask his friend again. This time he was determined he would ask for the truth.

He placed Horu to the headboard and finally, for the first time, pressed a gentle kiss on his forehead and smiled at him. "I am returning very quick Horu.... I just need to make a very quick phone call. Don't worry, i promise, no matter what, I would come back ok?" He said as gently as he could. "Just a short phone call... " he stroked his face that was still streaked with tears, his heart aching for his wife.
