    Summary

    And look: this whole thing could probably be resolved with a single honest conversation. He’s sure that with a little communication they could all manage to come to some arrangement. In fact, Patrick is pretty certain that he could fix their marriage himself by finally getting them both into bed at the same time. But Art is extremely reticent to voice what he actually wants, and Tashi can’t do anything without making it into a game, so here they are, each sneaking into Patrick’s bed and pretending that they’re mad about it.

    Patrick has no problem voicing what he wants or being direct. He wants Art. And he wants Tashi. If they could get their shit together and realize that they both want him, too, he’d probably be the happiest man in the goddamn world.

    Summary

    “Tashi,” he says softly. “I thought we talked about me retiring next season.”

    Everything stops.

    “What?” she says. It comes out sharp, although she hadn’t meant it to. “You’re still on that?”

    ***

    Art retires. Patrick moves in. And Tashi has to keep her feet moving, or else she'll drown.

    Summary

    Tashi disliked Patrick’s text, just because it made her feel all warm and fuzzy inside. “I told him that yes, I do think he should bring more than three pairs of underwear for a week long trip, and that we are here.”

    Art was quiet for a few seconds. And then, voice low – “surely he owns more than three pairs of underwear.”

    Tashi rolled her eyes. It was a characteristic and yet unfounded worry. “We’ve seen him in more than three different pairs of underwear.”

    “I would really like to stop thinking about Patrick’s underwear, actually.” Art’s uneasy fingers found the steering wheel again. Tashi’s kept tapping against her phone. What a pair, they were. Tashi couldn’t wait to add Patrick’s leg bounce into the equation and then spend three days straight trapped in a car with them all echoing off of one another.

    -
    Tashi, Art, and Patrick drive across the country to help Patrick move and find themselves in another hotel room.
