Darren was bored out of his mind.
He's been holed up in their house for too long. Caged with Hugo is definitely not exciting. The man is silence personified. If Darren doesn't talk to him at all, then Hugo won't speak.
Just the epitome of quietness he thinks he doesn't need right now. He needs a change of scenery, something that hasn't been done before. Something that will allow him the time to start anew, a nice start to begin.
Although it can also be such a workload, it can be good.
Darren took a deep breath and stared at the face that's been on his mind incessantly. The charming greatness and the smiles that melts. Looking at Hugo is just like looking at him. The man who surprised him with pain and heartbreak.
True, it will do him no good if all Darren do is to dwell but can he help it? Can he help it when he thought he was the one? He was played like a flute. Enjoyed when it was still interesting but discarded when he's done with it.
