And only when it’s capped and secured back into his pocket does he exhale a long, slow, measured sigh. “Thank you.” He says to his lover, rubbing at the side of his face so he can shift back. It’s about now that the rain starts, adding to the gloomy feeling of the day so far, though it doesn’t seem to faze the butcher any.
