Summary
"You got a name?" the man asks. They're almost of height. He's got cedar brown hair and is slimmer than Gale, but in a way that speaks of nature and genes instead of deliberate starvation.
Gale says, "Buck."
"I'm Paul. That your real name, Buck?"
"No," Gale says, and feels like he's lying.

Summary
"Jesus. You got that photographic memory or something?"
Gale shrugs, shaking back into his usual reticent personality. John only knows the word because he'd spied it on one of Gale's report cards, written in neat teacher cursive. He had looked it up afterward, stepping foot into the school library for the first and only time in his academic career so far.
"Something, I guess," Gale says.

Summary
"You're burning up," John counters. He worms his free hand under Gale's sweater and rubs briskly over his stomach. Wants to curl his nails in, but he doesn't. "How's that?"
"I'm cold," Gale repeats.
"You said that already. You've got a fever," John grits out, frustrated, skin numbed with friction but no heat.

Summary
Those who joined the order as adults were almost certain to be an austere type, ready to give themselves over to God's work, to choose it over life outside these walls. Gale doesn't appear that way in the slightest.
It had been less of a choice then, and more an escape.

Summary
Gale's mouth turns down. Rueful, or maybe considering. His cadet uniform is pressed free of wrinkles, hair pomaded into a tight part. John's form wears it well. And the mustache does make him more dashing, John decides. He looks goddamned handsome, a perfect counterpart to the pinks and golds he's currently embodying.
Gale catches on. "You're a narcissist," he scoffs.

Summary
Much like the Depression, the Blitz or most Christmases in Manitowoc, there comes a sunny day in October when John Egan’s future shutters like a window in front of him.
