[ That move, that last move, is so like the Dick Rafa knows that it almost breaks his heart. He turns immediately, moving after him in spite of his better judgment.
It can't end there. It just can't.
He stops himself right before he reaches Dick's back, and pulls his hand back to his side. No. This isn't fair. This is moving too fast for Dick, and Rafa doesn't know where his own heart is going, either. He can't be sure if what he feels is based only on the Dick he used to know, and at any rate...
At any rate, he cannot forget about the other version. That Dick could still be there somewhere, waiting for him. He can't just forget about that. He can't let his emotions lead him, not before he knows them better. So he swallows, and takes a breath, and quietly slides up beside Dick.Rafa is about to leave, but before he does, he lifts Dick's hand and presses his lips to his knuckles. ]
When you want to talk, I will be here.
[ Then he slinks back into the crowd, before he can compromise himself any further. ]
