Martin, surprisingly, was doing quite well. His broken heart was tied with string before it hit the pavement and broke to pieces. The wound was there and it hurt, but his anxiety for Steve kept him from feeling sorry for himself.
Steve has always been a strong guy in Martin's eyes. He had a strong, dominant personality and hands that took what they wanted. Yesterday, however, he saw a different face of him, which caused a different kind of emotion in mechanic.
Paxton rejected Martin, a fact, but it didn't take him two minutes to run after him and stop him. Why did he do it? He should let him go, just like that, severing all previous relationships with him. Nevertheless, Steve followed him and he was clearly nervous. Did that mean that somewhere in Paxton's heart there was room for Martin after all?
