“Yo.” Keith answered Jason’s call at once, from
which Jason deduced that things were quiet at The Lord Grey.
“Yeah, sexy bum.”
“Too loite, too
loite! Oi’ve got religion. Never darken moi doorstep again. From naow on, I’m as chaste as the driven
snaow.”
“Well, that’s a pity. ‘Cos I was going to invite you to a meeting
this evening at 5.30 at the Café Novio on Brunswick Street.”
“Ooh! Romance!”
His voice took on the fruity cadences of an old-fashioned TV or film
announcer. “Two laonely gays mayt for
the first time over coffee. One thing layds to another and before ya knaow it
….”
“I’m ending this call
right now,” said Jason, choking back a laugh.
“5.30, at the Novio, OK? I’ve got
something important to tell you, you idiot.”
“What?”
“Goodbye, my sweet, light
of my life, heart of my heart’s desiring.”
As Jason ended the called
he could have sworn he heard Keith say “Demented” in a weary tone at the other
end. He grinned to himself. He felt, all at once, ridiculously happy.
