Summary
Dave is a broken man and Kurt isn't sure he's up to the task of propping him up.
It’s Monday, February 14th. 2026.
Dave and Kurt are 32. It's been 16 years since that hospital bed, 9 years since Dave gave up on College, almost 7 years since Kurt's Divorce and 6 and a half years of random motel meetings for both of them.
It's simple:
Twice a month on average at a clean motel room just outside Lima. Kurt picks the day and tells Dave by text no less than 8 hours before. They don’t ever talk on the phone. They don’t say much beyond what courtesy demands once they are in the room. Kurt waits for Dave, never the other way around. They have sex. Dave leaves first.
This time it's different. This time, Dave asks for something he may not have the right to ask for.
