Reggie looked expectantly at Laz for a response that wasn't going to be coming anytime soon. Laz just stared at Reggie for a minute, looking at that youthful face that seemed full of life and energy. He then turned over and laid down, totally ignoring Reggie.
It wasn't like Laz was trying to be mean, but he didn't want to get caught up with Reggie. In Reggie, he could see a bit of what he would have been had things not happened as they did. There are times in everyone's life where they make an important decision, one that effects and shapes the path going forward, a path that would be completely different had they made a different choice. Laz was already walking this path, a path full of loss and regret. Over the past year and a half, he had dragged himself out of that quagmire of despair more times then he wanted to count. Well, with a bit of help from Vivi of course. He didn't want to drag others into it.
