“He looked more at ease, more sure, like all this time I'd only ever come face-to-face with his shadow.
Standing there in that moment, I felt like I'd stumbled upon something sacred, more intimate even than what had passed between us in the house. Like Gus had pulled back the curtains in the window of a house I'd been admiring, whose insides I'd been dreaming about but even so, underestimated.
I liked seeing Gus like this, with the people he knew would always love him.
We'd just had sex like the world was burning down around us, but if I ever got to kiss Gus again, I wanted it to be this version of him. The one who didn't feel so weighed down by the world around him that he had to lean just to stay upright.”

“Lucas was the kind of person to dive headfirst into everything. I liked to dip my toe in the
water, get used to the temperature before floating. I admired his ability to adapt to my style.
He’d backed way off, been so respectful, and now… now it was easy to like him back.
