“My father used to bring me up here, Hugo said, face awash with dying sunlight. “When I was a kid. This was where we'd talk about all the important things.” He smiled ruefully.
This is where I told him I was queer. He told me if he’d known, the sex talk would have gone a hell of a lot different.”
“Good man?”
“Good man,” Hugo agreed. “The best, really. He made mistakes, but he always owned up to them. He would have liked you.” He paused. “Well, how you are now. He wasn't fond of lawyers.”
“No one is. We’re masochists that way.”
As the sun set, they stood side by side, Hugo’s shadow stretching behind them.
“When I'm gone,” Wallace said, “please don’t forget me. I don’t have many people who'll remember me, at least not in a good way. I want you to be one of them.” His fingernails began to break apart.
Hugo’s throat worked as he swallowed. “How could I ever forget you?”
Under the whispering door, T. J. Klune
