[Two seconds, five seconds, ten seconds later.... he's still standing there.]

I'd rather hang a bird house with you.

[Which is really more of a commentary about the party than any sort of love decoration for the other man. It's not a bad party. He just thinks maybe he's the sort of man who doesn't enjoy them as much as his husband thinks he should. He doesn't know if he was just lying before or if he's changed and the night air is doing wonders for his headache.]

It's not a lot of fun standing around people who I can't remember and knowing that's all they want.

[ He looks back over at David, brow raised. Was he flirting with him? The latter part, at least, sounds more like him. Not sure how Matt knows that... He has no idea how David was before he woke up. ]

You could always talk to them. Let them help you remember. If they're your friends, I'm sure they want to help.

[Does it count as flirting if you are also using it as an excuse to keep on avoiding your spouse? Serious question.]

They do. Everyone seems very nice and very helpful. Which I think makes it worse.

[David can't explain why he's opening up so much to Matthew when he hardly knows him. Which yes, he barely knows anyone in this small town but he's been told that he and the school teacher had nothing in common before his accident. He feels comfortable for reasons he can't put his finger on.]

I feel like I'm letting them down. It's not like that with you.
