AUGUST: "But it is Miles... I think she'd understand... Maybe it would be ok to go as I am?"

AUGUST: "And Maybe... Maybe I won't have to lead this double life alone anymore."

August starts drafting a reply: 'Yeah sure!! But, um. I have something I need to show you. I'll meet you at the usual place!'

He sends it, eyes squeezed shut as he does so. No turning back now.

A speedy reply: '?', and 'ok!!'

AUGUST: "Ohh I can't believe I'm doing this..."

He flies out of his bedroom window to meet with his friend.
