Tim Speedle was an angry young man. The anger for once was not self-directed. It was directed at his lover. He couldn't understand the older man's need to constantly place himself in harm's way, and it scared him.

He loved Horatio more than he had ever loved anybody including Andrew. If he believed in the idea of soul mates, then he could honestly say that Horatio Caine was his.

He paced their living room trying to get a handle on his anger. He needed to talk with Horatio about the day's events, but he had to calm down so he could think straight. Horatio was very good at changing the subject when it became too painful for the redhead to bear. Tim had a strong feeling that this would be one of those painful subjects.

But the more Tim paced, the angrier he made himself. He grabbed the keys to his Ducati and stormed from the apartment.
