Summary
What if, instead of fighting when Tashi talks about Art to Patrick when Patrick goes to visit her at Stanford, Patrick comes in his pants about it?
That's it, that's the tweet.
“Hey,” Art says, squinting up at Patrick. “I thought you’d never come.”
Patrick gives him a shit-eating grin and winks. Art narrows his eyes even more, then rolls them when what he said sinks in. “You are such a child,” he says as Patrick drops into the seat next to him.
“What?” Patrick gives Art an angelic look. “I came. Just like you wanted me to.”
“Shut the fuck up, man,” Art says, one corner of his mouth deepening in reluctant amusement, and Patrick doesn’t get a chance to retort because the announcer is introducing the Stanford tennis team over the loudspeakers.

Summary
“Yo,” Patrick said, and his eyes swept the main living space so quickly Tashi almost could have missed the widening of his eyes when he saw the oversized 8k TV or the double-sectional couch - in all creamy white, as if to make a point, Tashi thought - if she hadn’t been paying very close attention. He was dressed in jeans that fit him too loosely, a t-shirt with a button-up on over, as if that was somehow going to paint an illusion of professionalism to the look. He kicked off his shoes and handed her a bag. “Chocolates,” he said, by way of explanation when she looked inside.
“I can see they’re chocolates,” she said, mesmerized by his choice of Ferrero Roche hazelnut chocolates. Maybe they were meant to be funny.
“Don’t judge,” Patrick said, brushing past her with intent and popping his head into the kitchen where Art was characteristically hiding. “Hey.”

Summary
"Come out to Long Island and practice with Art," Tashi said. "Don't you think you owe it to him?"
Patrick wasn't sure he owed Art anything, but he wasn't about to turn down an offer like that.
