Martin looked up at Karl with a weary look.
"Why do you say it's because I love him? Does Steve not want my love, so he left without saying a word?"
Walton stared at the boy and he had the impression that the boy was really suffering. It didn't surprise him at all. Although Karl still didn't quite accept Steve's relationship with this young mechanic - almost now a driver - he couldn't deny that Martin had a real, sincere affection for Paxton. Karl couldn't help but respect him for that.
He sighed and sat down next to Martin.
