    Summary

    “I'm pregnant.”

    Andrew’s words stay in the air like smoke, like the embers of his cigarette still clinging to their life, despite everything.

    “Okay,” Neil says. Breathes. It’s easy, as if it’s the worst thing he’s ever had to say and that doesn’t even matter to him. Andrew wants to kill him.

    Or two months after November, everything comes undone again. Andrew decides he deserves better than this.

    Summary

    “Have you considered the possibility that Neil has chosen you, but believes you have not chosen him?” Renee says. "Have you ever explicitly told him what you want?”

    “Neil knows what I want,” Andrew snaps. This is not Andrew’s fault.

    “How do you know?”

    Because Neil always knows. He is as fluent in Andrew’s micro-expressions as he is in German and French. He knows which head tilts mean “go on” and which ones mean “shut up.” Without ever asking, he learned what it meant to see Andrew wearing double layers of long sleeves, or taking multiple showers in a day, and learned to hand Andrew the car keys.

    That has always been the most terrifying thing about Neil — his patience to wait, watch, listen, learn. The prospect that if Neil were given enough time, there would be no part of Andrew that was just Andrew’s anymore.

    “He has to know,” Andrew says.

    “Does he?” Renee says. “Have you ever known Neil to assume that he is wanted?”

    Five times Neil tells someone that he and Andrew aren’t dating, and one time Andrew uses his words to set the record straight.

    Summary

    Loud, anxious footsteps echo through the carpark as untied sneakers slap against the pavement. He stumbles, nearly tripping over his own feet. He'd have met face first with the ground if he hadn't been quick to recover. That was the last thing he needed right now.

    2D’s heart thumps hard in his chest. His mind was focused on the only place he was certain he'd be safe; the basement, his bedroom, was far away, but he had to get there. He’d be a dead man otherwise.
