De-Lovely Page #3

You have a dazzling gift

and a life to go with it.

What could you possibly be afraid of?

Myself.

l'm not afraid of that.

l hope you never will be.

Even when you really get to know me.

We'd be so grand

at the game

So carefree together

that it does seem a shame

If you

can't see

Your future with me

'Cause you'd be

oh, so easy

to love

l thought you would be

tired of your apartment.

You're gonna have to help me out here.

l mean, if this is really you.

Why?

This is how it was. This is how l was.

l wanted every kind of love

that was available.

I could never find them in the same person.

Or the same sex.

l've never had the urge to be

completely honest with anyone until you.

lt's quite disturbing.

Especially since l haven't been

totally honest.

You knew so much about me

when we met, Cole...

don't you think l'd heard

a thing or two about you?

Then you know about....

Well, that l can be....

That l have...

other interests.

lnterests, the pursuit of which

some people might find cruel to you.

You mean men?

Yes, men.

Let's just say you like them more than l do.

Nothing is cruel that fulfills your promise.

l've been promising all my life.

l've got a notebook

full of promise. Trunks full.

l want to be more than promising to you.

We could fulfill your promise together.

We could be singular as a couple.

Would you stay for dinner?

lt will be just us.

l'd like that.

So, did you love her then?

Then? I don't know.

I thought I might discover what love was.

The physical side was always....

We could take it or leave it.

It was pleasant enough.

But the intimacy was stunning.

Good morning.

What's that?

lt's an idea for a song.

This part, right here,

l think would go nicely with...

''l love you.''

What do you think?

l think that would be beautiful.

l do, you know.

You don't have to love me

the way that l love you, Cole.

Just love me.

lt's so easy.

This verse you've started seems to me

The Tin Pan-tithesis of melody

So to spare you all the pain

Monty.

l almost didn't recognize you

under all that hair.

We've all matured since school, Coley.

At Yale, the only grooms

that interested you were in the stables.

Monty, behave yourself.

This is the happiest day of my life.

The night is young, the skies are clear

So if you wanna go walking, dear

Along with the bluebird, dogwood is

the great harbinger of the Kentucky spring.

-They're beautiful.

-Thank you.

l'm ready.

Ma'am.

Where is he?

You might prefer privacy.

l would not.

To holy matrimony, then.

And whatever further perforations

you may put in it.

-Excuse me.

-What?

Sorry, Monty.

lt's good to see you again, Mrs. Thomas.
