Summary
“Come back this summer,” Casey told him.
“That’s not up to me,” Danny said.
It wasn’t up to Casey, either, but he’d told his boss at the Tribune that the internship had to go to Danny again. Had to. Not because they were friends, but because Danny’s work was that promising. He’d been helping Casey fix up pieces since he left last summer - he would listen to Casey go on for paragraph after paragraph over the phone, or read faxed first drafts and fax them back with scribbled edits and suggestions. He could make anything Casey wrote better in some indefinable way. Casey was putting out his best work with his readership in mind.

“Sometimes he can be shockingly emotionally straightforward,” Dan said. “It's just the other ninety-nine percent of the time you have to worry about.”

Summary
Casey didn’t call again. Three weeks later Dan stopped dead in the morning crush of people coming out at 72nd and Broadway: Casey’s supersized face was grinning down at him from the side of a building. A billboard advertisement for Late Night with Casey McCall.

Summary
He felt listless, strange. Like he should have told Eduardo, sure, okay. Let’s go. It was the alcohol making him think that way, he knew. It was the kind of attraction-addled thinking that he understood was not to be trusted - that he was, annoyingly, just as susceptible to as the next college student. That wasn’t a person he was willing to be.

Summary
Ten years they’ve been together and Casey still gets paid more. Danny can never shake off the perception networks have of him that he’s a risk; that Casey is a safe bet and steady pair of hands and that Danny might just be a liability.
Mostly Casey thinks this valuation is fair.
