"Does it bother you?" Kell asks carefully. He had thought of covering the marks but that felt like lying and he didn't want to lie to Holland or to Lila. For the second time this week he felt uncertain about if he is in the wrong for not choosing even though no one had forced the issue on him. Is he just selfish and hurting both of them and no one is saying so?

His eyes avert for a long moment as those thoughts wash over him before he returns his gaze to Holland, watching him remove his coat and he reaches out to catch his arm and drag him close enough to kiss as he got on his knees on the bed.
