"Larry," he started slowly, "that parallax measurement thing…" He trailed off, but Larry's expression told him to keep going. After all, he tended to block them out after twenty minutes or so. The physicist looked as though he'd been listening to someone's nightmares for the last five hours, not talking about astrophysics, and Don suddenly wondered what the conversations were really about. "I apologise for inflicting our conversations on you so frequently of late, but Charles feels better in safe surroundings."ĭon furrowed his brow in confusion, and this time really looked at Larry. After a moment, he seemed to focus on the other men and offered a wan smile. The pair paused in the dining room though – Larry was still sitting there, looking lost in his thoughts. Don heaved a sigh of relief and started for the kitchen, followed by Alan. Several hours of pointless TV later, they finally heard Charlie get up and leave, presumably headed for the garage. Don didn't really know how to make things better, so he decided to leave the professors to their discussion and went into the lounge room to watch TV with his dad. That was probably just it, Edgerton had been gone for a long time, and Charlie was probably feeling insecure. The conversations about parallax measurement had started a few days after he'd said goodbye.ĭon shook his head firmly to clear it. Unfortunately, he was out on assignment, and Charlie had been anxious ever since he'd gone. He still didn't entirely approve of the relationship, but the sniper had an odd way of calming his brother. Part of him wished that Edgerton was around. It was really starting to piss him off, and he could only imagine what it was like for his father. Honestly, Don was sure that he had learned more about physics in the last three weeks than in the five years of high school science – mostly through sheer repetition. In the past few weeks, Larry had been at Charlie's side almost constantly, and the two of them were always having the same conversation about how to measure the distance between the stars. "Did you hear about that new study about parallax measurement?"ĭon stifled a groan.
