    “Hold still, lovely alien,” the Eridian croons, snapping a claw closed around the hem of my cardigan. “♫♬♩ will be so gentle, yes.”

    Summary

    You have to sign a waiver to ride the mechanical bull at Willie's. At face value this is so the establishment doesn't risk getting sued for any too-drunk idiots breaking an arm or leg or collarbone from getting thrown, but in reality it is so you can spend a minimum of five minutes filling out tedious paperwork and really, really thinking on what you're about to do. Ryland becomes less and less sure that the possibility of a double double with fries and- according to Marissa- a "gay little" strawberry shake is worth it with every box of personal information he completes, but while he is historically a quitter and a weenie and extremely happy to not do something if he really doesn't want to, he also knows that if he walks back to his best friend now she will never let him live this down.

    Boy meets bull. Boy takes bet. Boy learns that college really is all about discovery.

    Summary

    "Here," said Healy. She held out a lighter and clicked it on.

    “What are you, my boyfriend or something?” said Holland.

    Healy hesitated for a moment, while Holland slouched harder against the wall behind her and tried to convey through her eyeballs, I’m just an innocent little heterosexual, it would be an awful shame if some sinister old lesbian seduced me later tonight.

    Healy, thank God, caught Holland’s drift and leaned in closer. She cupped her hand around Holland’s to shield the lighter from the summer breeze until the tip of the cigarette caught.

    “You in the market for a boyfriend, March?”

    Summary

    The engineer takes my hand. His skin runs hot. Very hot. He doesn't let go at what I would gauge as a socially-acceptable handshake time interval. Are we just holding hands in the middle of the lab-workshop space? Guess we are.

    "I'm Rocky," he finally introduces himself. He has a hint of an accent, something lilting, melodic. I can't really place it.

    "Rocky," I repeat, slowly. "Like the movies?"

    "No," Rocky deadpans, giving me a look like I'm stupid. "Like the rocks."
