Quotes by Martin Wilson (?)

“Soon, he can hear Nathen’s breathing, slight little snores. But Alex refuses to let sleep take him. He wants to stay awake, he wants to drink in every last moment of their first night together.”
― Martin Wilson, What They Always Tell Us

1 likes

“Alex sits with them while the rest of the show plays, forcing himself not to smile or jump up and down. He thinks about how tomorrow night, at this time, he’ll be at Nathen’s. Just the two of them. The whole night together.”
― Martin Wilson, What They Always Tell Us
