   Summary

   God could not take these feelings away from him anymore. He knew what he was. If that lost him a spot behind heaven, then he’d gladly burn for the gift they sent him. Love was a human emotion, and if the emotions he held for Harry was love, then he was truly living.

   For Harry.

   No matter if he stayed or left him, he’d always live. For Harry.

   .

   Harry appears in Tom’s dreams and hallucinations, like a saint sent down from heaven. They were two saints carved with too much love, two perfect souls who did not deserve earth.

   Tom was the child with a demon mind, they had said. That must have meant Harry was the angel coming down to save him. They were perfect. Nothing but the break of day could separate them.

   Tom later learns homosexuality is a sin.
