„You want what?“ Zeke stared at his boyfriend, flabbergasted. „Making a trip into the jungle?“

„Well, yes.“ Casey looked somehow uneasy. „I know, we already have different plans for summer, but going on a phototrip in the Brazilian jungle together with Cath Simard is a once-in-a-lifetime chance.“

„Never heard about her before,“ Zeke gnarled.

„Of course, you don't; she's not a Formula One race driver, but only a brilliant landscape photographer who thinks that taking photos is a great way for self-expression. She never went to art school but used to work as a fashion stylist for a while. Until she discovered her love for outdoor photography; now, she is traveling around the world most of the year.“

„Hm. Sounds pretty geeky.“ To Casey's relief, a faint smile turned up on Zeke's lips. „I'm sure you two will get along together very well.“

„So, it's okay for you? Because, if not...“

„Disappointed,“ Zeke admit,“ a tiny bit. But I guess to love someone means to make compromises now and then. It wouldn't be fair to ruin your chance to work together with her for a while. Just come back to me on one piece.“
