    Summary

    Garraty clears his throat, then asks, “What about you, Pete? You got a lady?”

    McVries holds Garraty’s gaze for a moment, intensely, then says, “No, Ray. No, I don’t.”

    Every molecule of Raymond Garraty slows to a snail’s pace. McVries peers at him, dark eyes half-lidded, smiling softly. Garraty feels a little like he’s fallen behind in a race he didn’t know he was running.

    They keep looking at each other, silently, until McVries’s lips quirk up like Garraty’s said something funny, and he lifts his bottle to his lips. 

    “What is it?” Garraty asks. “What’s so funny?”

    McVries shakes his head, still wearing that knowing smile. “Nothing, Ray. Not a thing.”

    Ray Garraty and Peter McVries fuck around, get together, and fall in love. Not necessarily in that order.

    Summary

    “I can’t imagine it,” Garraty said. “Any of it. The house. The family. A future.”

    McVries tilted his head, watching him out of the corner of his eye. “You can’t imagine a wife? A white-picket-fence life?”

    “I can’t imagine anything except you, right now.”

    Summary

    Will finds a mixtape in Mike’s basement.
    It’s labeled “FOR WILL (DON’T LAUGH).”
    What follows is a summer of almosts, blanket forts, bike rides, Slurpees, meteor showers, and the slow, quiet ache of not saying it until they finally do.

    Summary

    The skin of McVries’ face is weather beaten, but still soft, like old leather, supple and forgiving.

    Summary

    “We stopped,” Garraty said, slurring a little. Still half asleep and tearful.

    “Yeah.”

    “Don’t let go of me, please.”

    “I won’t.” McVries dug his fingers into the meat of Garraty’s shoulder. “I won’t.”

    “Promise.”

    “I promise.”
