Summary
“You won’t even think about it?”
“I just don’t want you to inevitably have to divorce me when you find out how truly ill-equipped I am to be outdoors. I would miss you terribly.”
“What if I send you a link to the campground’s website to have a look, and ask for it to be my one and only birthday gift this year.”
“Your one and only birthday gift? You want nothing else than to sleep with your outdoors-averse husband in a tent overnight? Nothing else at all?”
“That is correct.”
David takes a moment, and for a very brief second hates how much and how apparently unconditionally he loves Patrick.
“Please send me the link, I will think about it.” He holds a finger up to Patrick’s delighted face. “I will think about it.”
“That’s all I ask.”*****
David does not do the outdoors. Until he does.

Summary
“What if I read that too?” Patrick asks one day over breakfast, setting David’s coffee down carefully on the table as he watches his husband flip his book over to concentrate on his breakfast.
David shoots him a startled look. “Do you want to?”
Or, five times Patrick reads a book of David’s, and one they read together.

Summary
“Um,” his voice cracks and he clears his throat and tries again, “Um, Patrick can’t come into work today?”
“Oh?” Alexis asks, keeping the question carefully nonchalant which really only makes things worse. If she’s sparing his feelings then shit surely must be hitting the fan.
“Yeah.”
“Did he say why?” Again, meticulously neutral.
“No.”
Or, the morning after Grad Night goes somewhat differently when Patrick gets a call from home.
