He’d been looking for another safe place ever since. Waking up with Belman holding him felt like he’d found it.
“There you go,” Bel whispered, as Daniel found his rhythm.

I ain’t like that. Don’t wanna make him feel small. Want to make him . . . happy. I want to make him happy.
Daniel closed his eyes. He didn’t give a shit about the content, but he really did like Bel’s voice. He concentrated on the rhythm of it. Smiled whenever he heard Bel stumble over a word.

Didn’t mean that Bel couldn’t acknowledge the truth: to the rest of the world, Kenny Cooper wasn’t worth mourning.

STOP MY HEART HURTS
“Good night, Whitlock,” he whispered. ’Night, Bel. Daniel let himself go under.
I KNOW SOMETHING’S GOING TO HAPPEN BUT DAMN MY HEART
He must have been sleeping, because he didn’t know what was going on. Bel was holding him. Had to be a dream.
“And just as many reasons to relax and let me love you,”
