Luigi stared through the
window at the two men on the barstools in the café. Cody was
staring deep into the eyes of an older bloke. They seemed very
intimate. He was filled with rage. He wanted to go in and wring
Cody's neck. How dare he!
The older man was slim
with salt-and-pepper hair, his face a little lined with rubbery
folds, and undeniably handsome. He looked vaguely familiar. Luigi
wondered where he'd seen him before. Cody looked as beautiful as
ever. Luigi's anger was quickly replaced with sorrow. After all, it
was he who'd dumped Cody, not the other way round. Even taking into
account that Cody had deceived him ...
He stood back so that
Cody wouldn't see him. Yet he was unable to simply walk away. His
life with Cody was over. But his heart was breaking. If he could
just look at him again.
Cody and the man stood up
and left the café. Cody seemed to be tipsy, and his companion was
helping him. They came to a Toyota people carrier. Supporting Cody
with one hand, the man wrenched open the car door. Cody turned and
looked directly at Luigi. Their eyes locked. Luigi's heart stopped.
He felt sick. Then Cody smiled, a sweet smile, and unable to help
himself, Luigi smiled back.
A moment later, the car
drove off. Turning on his heel, Luigi plodded home, his mood black
and despairing.
