    Summary

    “We’re ready for this, right?” David’s voice was so soft that Patrick barely heard him over the sound of his tires on the not-so-smooth pavement.

    “As the numbers guy, I thought I was supposed to be the nervous one.” Patrick chuckled as a smattering of light raindrops started to hit the windshield. “Yes, David, we’re ready. We’re more than ready. In fact, we need this so we can keep growing.”

    Out of the corner of his eye, Patrick saw David nod slowly as he drew in another deep breath, prompting Patrick to reach across the console and take his hand again.

    “We’re doing it together,” Patrick said, giving David’s hand a gentle squeeze. “Just like we did when we opened."

    ***

    More than a year after the events of "Safe," David and Patrick are preparing to open a second Rose Apothecary in Elmdale, and they're both struggling with the stress of it all. But what happens when David's symptoms turn out to be caused by something more?

    Summary

    The front door creaked as David came in. When he saw Patrick in the front room, he wiped at his face, shaking his shoulders to hide the movement. Patrick crossed the room in two steps. Arms open in a silent request for absolution. David folded him into his arms, seeking and giving comfort in equal measure. Patrick let his forehead settle against David's neck, coming to rest in the space he'd long ago claimed as his own.

    Summary

    David and Patrick return to Patrick’s hometown to say goodbye to one of Patrick’s childhood friends. While there, Patrick grapples with what might have been different if he’d realized his sexuality sooner.

     

    David stands then, knees popping, making that old man noise he doesn’t actually need to make, but likes to because he enjoys the drama of it. Instead of sitting next to Patrick on the end of the bed, he drapes himself over Patrick’s lap first, then across his shoulders, putting himself very purposefully in Patrick’s eye line. “I love you, and I’m here.”

     

    “I can see that,” Patrick says, choking out the words like David is cutting off his air, which he is a little, even if it’s well-meaning. David readjusts, moving bony elbows, kissing Patrick’s throat above the tie David tied in hopes of moving Patrick out of the bathroom mirror they’d been sharing. Patrick seemed to have gotten stuck there too, thinking about getting ready with Nate on the first day of grade 12, tying school ties and promising each other a memorable year. At that point, Patrick should have known the socks and shoes were a lost cause, but he’s stubborn; maybe he’s too stubborn.
