When Colby got Seth’s blood-test results, he paid for two hours with Maggie at Rock’s apartment. As he walked through the door, his grave demeanor revealed that he had something serious to say.
Maggie stood back and took a long look in his direction. “What’s going on?” Her heart was racing as she watched Colby struggle with his own emotions.
“Seth’s blood test results came back,” Colby said.
He grabbed her by the hand and led her over to the old sofa. Once seated, he turned to her.
“What? You’re freaking me out,” Maggie said, not knowing what to expect.
Colby drew in a long, deep breath. “Seth has AIDS.”
