Chapter 61

• Harry suggested, without any intention, that they could accept his help, solely to be helpful to his friends. However, unwittingly, he managed to restore some of Eric's enthusiasm, as he had been feeling a bit down at the thought of not being able to treat himself to the luxury of a new outfit exclusively for that night.
• So, they continued on the phone, as Hugo and Jonathan kept trying on other clothes, without letting the blond know that the intention now was to find something for him. While talking to the musician, he ended up venting about his recently acquired debts, telling how his self-esteem had been affected by needing his boyfriend's and friend's help to maintain the lifestyle he was used to.
• Even though Empire paid relatively well, covering his expenses along with hospital bills left no room for leisure or even simple purchases he occasionally desired. It was just enough to get by, which, to clarify, he already found sufficient. He knew very well it was more than many people had, and he was completely grateful for that.
