    Summary

    "Alone inside this room, time is suspended. He is not ready for Jim to step out of it. After everything, after Wen wrecked Jim's peace, Wen does not feel like he belongs in his kitchen. He cannot watch him nonchalantly fix him a bowl of porridge, cannot look at Jim returning to his responsibilities and a life where Wen cannot simply fit. However, it feels more wrong to force Jim back inside. To ask Jim to sneak him food like he is still a secret, not when Wen knows all Jim ever wanted was to bring what they had outside of this room into the daylight."

    Or the truth comes out and Wen, even if just for a day, wants them to give their love a try.

    Summary

    "Phupha’s fingers on Tian’s face stop moving. He wants to tell him that if he had a say, nothing would stop him from finding his way back to Tian. Each night, if he had to, he would drag his corpse across fields to sleep again within the warmth of Tian’s embrace. His judgment and reason tell him that these promises are hollow. They are bound to hurt Tian one day. Yet, last night, Phupha took up arms for a battle he thought he had left behind. He should have been done fighting his own desires a lifetime ago, when he watched Tian leave Thailand."

    It is 2 a.m and Phupha's demons rear their ugly heads.

    Summary

    He has never woken up in his room to this; to the warmth of a sweaty, body pressed against his front and to the cold air against his exposed back. But he had wanted to. Ever since Tian burst through his life like a whirlwind, reached for the heart inside his chest and held it in his palm, he had thought of this.

    Tian is here. Tian.
     

    Or the first morning of the rest of Phupha's life.

    Summary

    "Tian could not bring his hands forward to a wai as if these same hands had not held the chief's and begged him not to let go. As if Phupha had not cradled them in his palms and promised to never forget him."

    Or, Tian and Phupha meet again, a little bit bolder and a little bit braver.
