"I had many losses in my life, and passed over, but it seems... like this is too much, and the memories..."
Dave took another drink of scotch watching deep into space...
"I'm just moaning and keep saying things like a small child... I'm so embarassed of my state."
He went closer to Erik and told him in a more whispering tone.
"Interesting is that... everything started after I met Hunter's twin...*he looked very embarassed*. Really... she reminded me a lot of ... Ashley. It was nice to see that a beautiful young lady like her, was "interested" in me... I guess. I never had a chance to do such things before I've lost Ash. I think I like her Erik... but... I think I said something to her and upset her... I know I am clumsy... and it's something else. Cerberus can't allow me to go into these feelings, sometimes I hate very hard what I do... After all, protecting humanity brings some sacrifices... and that counts even my life. *he sighed very deep* I just ... don't want to act stupid because of this... never felt something for 9 years... when all my feelings went lost with my dear Ashley. For me... this evening was more then a simple dinner Erik, something unique, I met lots of ... friends."
He took again a drink scotch this time until the end of the glass.
