34. What
“What?”
“No - it’s all right, now. He had all this stuff hidden, in boxes, and I found this.” He withdrew his arm from behind Lee and clenched in his hand was a leather string and pendant; a scarab etched into stone.
“That’s my necklace! Oh … Georgie, your hand … what did you do?” Lee turned George’s hand over, displaying his scraped and bloodied knuckles.
“I panned him good.”
Lee took a deep breath, disappointment on his face.
“And not nearly enough.”
“Shhh…” Lee didn’t like talk of violence. With one arm, he continued to hold George close to his chest and squeezed George’s hand with his other.
“Who was he?” he asked quietly.
“Byron Burke. He took up his uncle’s work at Borgin and Burkes.”
“Him? … I don’t remember. I don’t think I’ve ever met him.”
“I don’t want to talk about him.”
“Ok.”
George shifted onto his knees so that his eyes were level with Lee’s and then placed the long lost trinket around his neck.
“I wore this nearly everyday. I’ve missed it,” Lee said with a sad smile, fingering the pendant on his chest. “I still don’t know how you and Fred afforded it, but I was chuffed you thought of me while you were in Egypt.”
“Was just a cheapo off a tourist cart.”
“Doesn’t matter. I loved it. Started my lusting for you then.”
“All that time ago?”
Lee nodded.
“I was so thick.” George put his hands around Lee’s neck. “I love you, Lee Jordan. Do you know that? Do I tell you enough?”
Lee smiled. “Yes, babe, you do.”
George was still trembling, head to toe, and just couldn’t stop. He crumpled against Lee’s chest and talked into his neck.
“You’ve been so patient with me. Tonight … I remembered what it felt like when I thought I’d lost you. Watching you go through all that. I won’t lose you again!” George pulled him into a brief and demanding kiss, and his voice increased with urgency. “I want to tell everyone – now. I don’t care what they think. If they can’t see how much we love each other then they can sod off.”
George pulled him into another near frantic kiss as though he were afraid he’d forget what Lee’s lips were like. When they broke apart, George tried to pull Lee to stand, but instead, Lee just pulled him back down.
