Danny joined him shortly after, putting one plate in front of Greg, the other in front of himself.

He didn't mean to be awkward, but in some ways it felt like James was more around than he'd been before. Before he'd been Greg's other partner. Not even a rival or someone Danny even knew well. He'd fucked enough married men that being the other woman hadn't been completely forign to him. Hell, being the approved of other woman had been even easier. Sure, he'd always prefered to be someone's only someone, but... But this- This was all new, and it felt heavy. Like too much weight to carry sometimes. His feelings for Greg hadn't changed, but their situation had. Not just because of James' sudden absence, but because of John too. Danny hadn't intended to get emotionally involved with both men, but he had, and now- Now he had no idea what to do about any of it. No clue how to even talk about it.

"There's salt and pepper if you need it," he said, since he knew the silence was becoming deafening.
