[Haha, he said time, but Freddy's not laughing over it or anything. To him it's just conversation. Maybe if he were from Raymond's world he'd see more irony.]
I gotcha.
[Not enough time, not enough patience, and too many issues to maintain what he thought was a serious relationship. Maybe it was too serious. Freddy doesn't have to tell Raymond the failure rate for relationships with LEO types is pretty damn high in his world. Hell, he doesn't really take Raymond for the emotionally attached type anyway. That's exactly what Freddy thinks he needs right now.]
I can take you back unless you're just up the street or something. [Is his ulterior motive coming through? It's hard enough being an undercover cop, being a gay one is like asking for career suicide. But this isn't their world and that's why it shouldn't matter. Right?]
