[ John's mind just— stops. For a moment. His head snaps up from staring at the pile of valentines to staring at Harold. Would he like? Harold has just admitted how personal coffee is for him, how important, it was so ingrained in his relationship with Grace that he stopped drinking it after he left. And now he's offering to drink it with John? Is saying that he'd like to give that to John? A thing they do together, something for them. He doesn't know what to do with this offer. He wants it so badly, but he knows how important Grace still is to Harold, how often Harold goes to see her. But he'd give this thing between them to John.
How does he interpret this? Does this mean something? It has to. It has to. He just— he doesn't know what. He knows what he wants it to be. It's Valentine's Day and he wants suddenly to open his mouth and let all his confessions spill out. But he keeps his mouth clamped shut. Doesn't trust himself to speak for a few long moments. ]
I don't want to take that from Grace.
[ But— he wants to accept this thing from Harold, he wants to share this with him. ]
