We really wanted to be supportive of you and not pressure you but it's been killing me Nicky. I love you so much and just want to keep you.

[ Booker was frustrated that there was a table between them. He wanted to drag Nicky into his arms and kiss him hard like he could pour all the love he felt into him. ]

Don't? Don't go. I mean, I know you have to leave tomorrow anyway but don't go be a priest. I don't know what the future holds but I want to have you there with me. With Joe. All of us together.

[ When they got back to the dorm they would not unpack. Booker would make up for lost time and show Nicky just how much he was loved and wanted and how he should never, ever leave them. ]
