Well it’s over now - the romance and discovery, that’s done. Jordan said it: he’s moved on. Maybe Jordan and Noah can take joy in each other’s lives, and be the kinds of friends for each other that each will need in the years ahead. You build up our hopes and let them down again artfully.
Unless Brody turns out to be some kind of hidden evil man, I think Noah will need to learn to be more social, to make connections, and find another man who makes him feel as Jordan once did.
All this has the melancholy of the cool September days that we know must give way to winter.
