“Look,” the dark-haired pilot with the warm eyes says, leaning in. “Not to burst your bubble, but if you’re about to ask if Roz is single, as far as I can tell the answer is always ‘it’s complicated’.”

There’s a moment of hesitation that Tommy hasn’t been able to banish completely yet. That moment of will this be OK? Is this going to fuck up this friendly atmosphere for the rest of his time here?

But Lucy’s friend had insisted, and he doesn’t hide anymore, so he says, as if it’s nothing, “Oh, no. I’m gay, actually.” And then he doesn’t look for a reaction, just keeps careful track of his peripherals in case there’s movement, but there isn’t. Because it’s fine.

“Oh, that’s cool,” Hisham says, like it’s no big deal, because it isn’t. “There’s a queer get-together thing every first Friday of the month, I’m pretty sure. I’ll ask Becks about it later, remind me.”
