He Didn’t Even Bother to Look…
The person he most wanted to share the moment with wasn’t there.
No matter how much happiness and gratitude he felt, I get the impression there was a Connor-sized chunk of his heart missing.
We’ve seen in little snippets how much Connor stays on his mind, imitating Ilya at the Laufey shoot, talking about his handwriting at the Oscars, even talking about him Sunday in the red carpet interview. I think it’s a safe bet they stay on each other’s minds together or not. And when they are together, you get Met Gala - attached at the hip and looking for each other when they’re not- which at the end of the morning, was pretty tame as far as what is on public record. I hope everyone gets an all night out memory in your 20’s - several in fact!
Looking back at all they’ve experienced this year, I can’t say I blame them. When you find the person you can talk with for hours, who shares your values, passions, and weirdness. Who can stand beside you on the biggest stages or at a video arcade as an equal supportive partner - is it any wonder Hudson had a little melancholy vibe at the awards? There is only one person who truly understands the man he is becoming.
