    Summary

    “Do you wear a lot of blue?” she asks. Cindy, her name tag says.

    She hands Patrick a pair of dark gray wire-frame glasses which he slides on until they hook behind his ears. And it’s not like—well everyone who knows him knows he likes blue. But he feels a little unsettled that this stranger picks up on it, like at she can see his whole life contained within the frames around his eyes.

    “Uh, yeah. I guess so,” Patrick says, taking them off again. This pair, like all the others she has given him, is exactly right and completely wrong.

    Or, Patrick gets glasses and thinks about identity. David helps.

    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.
