    Summary

    “It’s just,” said Allison, the ghost of a giggle still haunting her words, “After a year of fucking him, it seems kind of late to develop a celebrity crush now.”

    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

    “Am I dreaming?” Andrew asked. He whispered it even quieter this time, not wanting his breath to disturb the squirrel.

    The squirrel’s head cocked left, and then right. It chirped, each trill musical and blending into the next, but none of it coalesced into language for Andrew. Finally, the squirrel sighed--okay, the squirrel didn’t really sigh, because it was a squirrel, but there was something like surrender in the way it dropped its hand from Andrew’s nose, tugged Andrew’s thumb up, and then bit him firmly.

    Or, Andrew makes a friend.

    Summary

    Fuck, Neil wanted to curse, but all his voice managed was a pretty pathetic sounding, ‘Meow.’
