    Summary

    A lot of people describe love as fire, as flame.
    Unsurprisingly, it’s never sat well with him. Fire is dangerous. It hurts people, ruins lives, destroys things. He likes putting them out, likes saving people from them, likes finding something salvageable in the ash.

    The first time he saw Esther, it wasn’t fire or flame or spark. Charging into smoke and heat in the Clinton Hill Chantry, seeing her there in the halls was fresh air, was a spring breeze.

    Ricky’s had crushes before, Ricky’s been in love before, but it’s always felt like those things have just happened to him. He hasn’t ever wanted anyone, not the way that he’s wanted Esther.

    Summary

    Colin takes a step back. Bulb, he feels so torn. He just wants to speak up, tell Deli everything he never said, like I think I love you and I know you love me back, you damned fool. But now he’ll never get the chance.

    Colin’s shoulders drop as he makes his decision and begins to leave, pausing in the doorway. He looks back at Deli, who avoids his gaze. He’s still beautiful. He’ll probably never stop being beautiful. But he isn’t a good person. And Colin can’t do this anymore. Whatever this is.
