Theo stood outside Oliver's door as he hesitated. His thoughts were a mess and he did not know how to approach the man who he had hurt knowingly or unknowingly. Although he had no reason to apologize to Oliver, Theo somehow felt responsible for breaking his trust.
Taking a deep breath, he knocked at the door and waited impatiently. For a few seconds, there was no response. Theo was about to knock again when he heard Oliver's voice.
He opened the door without wasting more time but dared not walk inside. "Oliver, it's me." He just peeked inside and looked at the man lying on the bed with his arm covering his eyes.
"Do you have time to talk to me?" His tone came out more like a plead than a question and Oliver lowered his arm to look at the man immediately.
"I was waiting for you." Oliver sat up and scooted towards the edge of the bed, his words surprising Theo greatly. "And, you may come in."
