[Eliot accepts the cuddling and closeness readily, smiling and wrapping Caleb up tight. He's glad he has this, with Caleb. He'd still have Margo, so he'd be getting by regardless. But he knows he wouldn't be coping half as well without Caleb around.] It's not, apparently, but it's better than not having it. And thank you. [Eliot kisses him sweetly. And then laughs ruefully.]

You're probably right. But I'd ring with both of you. We'd have to warn him going it what happens though, assuming we all are still game by the time it comes around again. He might actually like to keep a few secrets, we already gave up all of ours. And he does. We can spoil the hell out of him.

[Eliot hugs him back.] It's a deal. I'll always be there when you need me. And also when you want me, because, and I don't know if I've mentioned this, you're very sexy.
