    Belly sits down anyway. "Then neither should you."

    Summary

    Belly has a theory: Conrad moans because he's spent so much of his life keeping everything locked down tight. All his emotions, all his pain, all his fear. He's gotten so good at control that when he finally lets go, when he's with her, when he's inside her, when he's arguing with her, when he's overwhelmed by sensation he can't think his way out of, everything comes spilling out at once.

    Summary

    Conrad's texts arrive at odd hours, slipping into her phone while she sleeps. Belly's voice notes play in his sterile kitchen as he makes coffee, her laughter bouncing off surfaces too clean, too empty.
    If there are infinite worlds, every version of me chooses you, Belly told him on that speeding train to Brussels, still catching her breath.
    In the spaces between, they create them.

    Summary

    “Swing shift is ruining my life. Conrad’s working one PM to one AM until November and I haven’t gotten laid in two weeks,” Belly moans.
    “Jesus,” Taylor hisses, voice tinny.
    Belly sets her head down on the counter. “I’m so horny I can’t see straight. I get why fifties housewives were always getting sent to mental institutions.”
    “They should invent a way for you to have sex in your sleep.”
    “Yeah,” Belly says, and lifts her head up just a bit, “yeah…”
