“I drank Datura inoxia and traveled with the black panther to find the antidote."
"And you saw the energy lines of the trees."
"How do you know?"
"Because I know."
"I smelled the lily of the valley, up close, but the scent of your skin is still sweeter."
"Not as sweet as yours."
"I danced with a rattlesnake."
"There are many of those in life."
"And then, under a flash of lightning, a tree caught fire and I found the bromeliad with no name."
"How strange that a tree caught fire in the rain forest. It's very wet in there."
"I found the plant of passion. The tenth plant."
"You found it with your passion. You set the tree on fire with your passion."
"I love you."
"I love you, too," he said.
"And that is the story of us."
"It is."
"It's true, then, whoever finds the nine plants really does find what they desire."
"It's true."
"Let's say them together."
We began.
"Moonflower, gloxinia, cycad, Theobroma cacao, mandrake, chicory, sinsemilla, Datura inoxia, lily of the valley, and the tenth plant. The bromeliad. The passion plant with no name.”

“Hey, honey!” I called brightly. “You’re home early. And here I didn’t even get to put a bow on the gift I have for you.”
Scotini glanced from Noel to me and then sent Caroline a scandalized glance. “Oh my God. Your brother’s gay?”
Really? I turned to her too, and with the same tone, I said, “Oh my God. Is he fucking stupid?”
She just sighed, looking a little ashamed, as if embarrassed she’d ever had anything to do with such a brainless douche.
“Ten?” Noel strode over, scowling hard. “What the hell are you doing? Aspen called at work, saying you were beating the shit out of some stranger in our backyard. So, I come home to find this. Who is this guy?”
I couldn’t help but smile. “Well, why don’t I introduce you, buddy. This here is Sander Scotini.”
Noel pulled back in shock and stared at Scotini before a small smile lit his face. “Is he really?”
I nodded. “And Sandy,” I said, picking the little shit up off the ground, by his hair. “Meet Caroline’s overprotective, homicidal big brother, Noel Gamble.”
