    Summary

    “Todd,” said Neil, ever the persistent one, “when are you going to write more poetry?” He tilted his head to the side, eyes quizzical.

    “I don’t know. When I find the words,” said Todd.

    “You have the words already!” Neil protested. “You just need something to write about.”

    “Like what?”

    Another moment of quiet, another laser-bright stare from Neil, as if he were trying to beam an answer directly into Todd’s mind.

    He eventually seemed to give up on that, and so he said, “I guess… nature. Childhood. Society.” A pause. “Love.”

    Summary

    It was much easier, he thinks, to avoid attending their little meetings when he actually fell ill, bound to his bed and only addressing Charlie with pathetic sniffles, when he wasn't sleeping the long Friday away. It was a flimsy excuse, sure, but an excuse nonetheless. Anything was better than admitting he stopped showing up to meetings because of his own lack of dignity.

    or

    Richard Cameron gets sick and Charlie is perpetually annoying.
