Adam sighed at first, and closed his eyes, then opened them as a smirk lit across his lips as Booker asked his second question. He slowly turned his head on his hunched shoulders and looked over at his friend. That's why he loved this man, they thought so much alike it was almost scary. Adam lifted his cup of the hot comfort drink in toast to Booker's line of thinking.

"Soon. I can't keep visiting him there. It's not right. He's, not doing well." He was doing much better around his friends, in his familiar places. Yes he had spells sometimes but at least he was living. All he was doing in the facility was dying. "And I owe him."

Adam had known Isaac a very long time. At the same time he was getting his bachelor's degree in Criminology, Isaac was getting a Masters in Engineering. They were both a little older than the other students (Isaac much older) and the two had naturally become friends. Adam had a hobbyists interest in engineering and the two of them were embarrassingly nerdy together.

"We, had a thing," Adam said carefully. "Back before I ever knew Megan." It was always an awkward risk admitting that kind of thing to another man, you could never predict how they would react. Adam was comfortable enough with Booker that he didn't think it would risk their friendship and that's why he was confessing it now. Somehow long the way their late nights over homework had become fumbling hands, kisses, and a comfortable exploration.
