"Yeah." Chuck remembers. He's not exactly a stranger to waiting by someone's bedside.
They can't be friends. Not after what they've had, Chuck said that before he left and they both know that. They both agreed. Which maybe was the mistake Chuck made when he came here trying to help him.
And he's not even sir he's going to call that guy back when he gets home--when he said 'sort of' he meant 'sort of'. He's seeing other people and he's not looking for anything serious. He's not going to fucking settle.
And it's been established in the car--well, the parking lot--that getting back together wouldn't be any good, remaining feelings or not. Raleigh jut assumes Chuck will leave like he did before...and he will, if they don't actually get any of this in the open in a more calm sort of discourse.
"Have they changed anything in the past five years?" He jerks his head at the tree.
