Summary
The curtains open and they saunter on stage together to the music. The crowd cheers and hollers, calls out their names. Merriell can barely hear them over the sound of the piano and violins. Quickly, he scans the faces, until he finds Eugene in his usual spot, third row, center. He’s wiped the lipstick from his face and put on proper clothes, but his hair is a wild mess and his cheeks are flushed red. As promised, Merriell blows him that kiss before moving across the stage.

Summary
He steps inside the bar and hears his laugh, loud and roaring as he bends over the billiard table. Eugene’s mind blanks. His anger grows so big that it almost consumes him, washes hot and blindingly over him, so that for a second he can’t see a thing, other than a piercing white light.
---
Eugene has to face the anger that the war inflicted in him and which follows him home. He has to learn how to live with it, overcoming it with the years. Thankfully he has Merriell by his side who helps him to stay calm whenever the state of the world makes him feel utterly helpless and angry at times. -

Summary
"It can be the face of a boy you know you‘ll never measure up to. It can be the face of a boy as he tells you: Don‘t take it to heart. It is that boy knowing that no matter how hard you try, he‘ll always touch the end of the pool a second before you. It’s the image of him that you see as you finish your lap, head barely out the water but met with him watching you, out-of-breath but relaxed, pink-cheeked but winning."

Summary
They’re both older now, and softer. More prone to hurt. It means that when Snafu shatters a glass jug all over the kitchen floor, all over his and Eugene’s bare feet, Eugene knows it’s time to say something. Snafu is the type of person to let pain go until there’s no coming back from it.

Summary
The sun is starting to set outside, bathing the room in a pinkish-orange glow. A single ray of light catches the dust floating in the air and ignites Eugene’s hair in a saint’s halo. Merriell presses a kiss into Eugene’s skin and holds him close. He’s been through that maze once before; he has a light to guide Eugene with now. The fact that he’s talking about it is a great sign for the future. “I’ll help you,” he promises him. “You’re lovelier than you think you are.”

Summary
Eugene's been through a full year of upper-middle class adventure, of going off the beaten track - Harvard Med, nervous breakdown, the glossy-pamphlet style recovery, the kind that’s for rich kids with their horseback riding and mountaintop yoga - then emptying his trust fund to do something reckless like travel Europe for a few months. For all of that to lead up to him standing outside a goddamn Amsterdam coffee shop, plagued by irrelevant, silly ruminations, it must really tell a story about him.

The only hint of a world beyond his apartment was the slight pattering of the rain, he could still hear over the sound of the radio. Another Soul singer, pouring his heart out, emphasizing the atmosphere between them.

Summary
“Come eat with me,” Eugene pleads, “Come eat with me, then come to bed with me, it’s cold sometimes in this apartment.”
Snafu doesn’t answer him, and Eugene eats alone on the sofa, staring blankly at the black-and-white tv his parents bought him for Christmas last year, thinking: heaven help me, he’s going to be the end of me. Heaven help me, I loved him.
