He had fired Oriel after the incident. There was nothing Keith could do about it either, except appoint a new Minister. Chapter Six Keith just laid on his side, knees to his chest, crying. Since the incident a year ago, he stopped seeing Oriel. He wasn't in cabinet anymore, so it didn't make sense anyway. It had caused only heartache. Lizley stood at the entrance to his bedroom. “You miss him, don't you?” Keith sniffled a little, looking over to his sister. “With my entire soul.” “So then why are you here pitying yourself instead of making up for your stupid mistake?” Lizley asked, bluntly. “He... he... won't return my calls or mail. He's cut off all communication. The government is in disarray because he won't sign any treaties or anything that requires his attention.” Keith said quietly.
“And what have you done to make him want to give you or any of it his attention? You probably remind him of what he lost. Yet you only try to call or write a letter. If my husband had cheated on me, I'd expect not just flowers, but a downright apology and something beyond special.” Lizley lectured. She was the Dean of Economics at Harvard University, and was Keith's sister. She had returned to Rigel Prime to visit family. Keith looked up, and waved a hand in the air to access the video terminal. It came to life. “Computer, get me 1-800-flowers on Earth.” Keith spoke softly. “Connecting you, one moment.” The computer replied. ****** Rob and Jason held each other on the sofa. A DVD was playing on the TV. Cindy and her boyfriend Steve were on the floor. It was a good movie – Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. The movie over, Cindy stood. “I think we should all go to the park!” Jason gave Cindy a 'huh' look, but stood with Rob's hand in his, and the two went to put on their shoes. On the way to the park, Jason gave an odd look to a car that seemed to be driving next to them at the same speed as their walking. Jason started to look worried. Rob noticed his boyfriend's look. “Jason, is everything ok?” “I don't know. This car is moving awful slow next to us.” Jason pulled out his communicator. Cindy looked to Jason, “Do you think it's a problem?” The car then sped up, leaving them alone. The group finally reached the park, and Jason went to sit on the swings. Rob went with him. Followed by members of the Royal Guard, Keith came over the hill. Spotting Jason, he walked up to him, dropping to one knee. “Jason my love, I am so sorry. I never meant to hurt you.” Keith started to say quietly. “Too late, Keith. You ripped my heart out.” Jason replied coldly. Rob stood from the swings, walking over to where Cindy and Steve were. Rob whispered to Cindy, “Who's the hot red guy?” Cindy whispered in reply, “His Majesty the Pharaoh, Jason's ex.”
Keith looked down a little. “I've been... I've been miserable since you left.” Keith raised himself a little, revealing a bouquet of roses. “I got these for you.” Keith said, offering them to Jason. Jason looked at the roses, and then into Keith's eyes. “You really hurt me, Keith. Now you're being selfish, expecting me to hurt Rob to take you back!” Keith looked over to Rob. He knew who Rob was. The Royal Guard had reported on him during a routine briefing on Jason's protection detail. Keith stood, and slowly walked over to Rob. He took Rob's hands in his own. “Rob, I know you are a good man. I ask, could I please have my husband back?” Rob just looked at Keith, a little amazed. Was this man really asking for Jason back? “Please?” Keith asked Rob.
