Apparently so, he thought sarcastically, but he didn't have time to respond before Hudson had changed the subject. Maybe not entirely changed it, but slid it sideways a bit. Don Juan didn't like thinking about Hudson's last birthday; he certainly didn't talk about it. Part of his push to try Hudson's kink with a fresh start had been that he wanted to expunge the first encounter from memory; for it to become a non-issue. It felt a little like a betrayal that Hudson was bringing it back up now, after Don Juan had done so much to put it firmly behind them.

"It wasn't my fault your birthday went to hell," he snapped, full of venom (because really he thought that it was).
