Summary; The Captain and the Barrister attempt to have lunch.
Log; Kyle waited outside the restaurant, leaning casually against the rough stone wall of the building and trying not to look like his stomach was doing flips. He also resolved not to check his watch again, as he knew he'd arrived far too early and it was pointless to watch the minute hand tick around. Part of him was still expecting a phone call with Jack's apologies and the reluctantly given statement that he just wasn't ready to see Kyle again.
Which was all right. Kyle would accept that, yes, if he'd been sent home to a world that forced him to kill off pretty much every joy he had and then was dumped back into the City after a year of mourning to find these things set in his lap again, he would be hard-pressed to face them too. But from Kyle's perspective, he'd had both his lovers stolen from him and even though they returned to be right in front of him, he couldn't touch them. And that was difficult to deal with too.
Kyle shook himself and rolled his eyes. This was not the pity-party hour. This was lunch. He wouldn't be greeting Jack with sad eyes and shaking hands. He was going to be bright and casual and gently coaxing and not at all clingy or otherwise give the impression of a man who has neither slept nor ate well in almost a month. In fact...
Kyle took his sunglasses off and checked his appearance in the reflective surface. Not that bad. His outfit was perfect, hair too, and concealer and moisturizer hid the shadows under his eyes. He was ready.
And still early.
