Summary
Whoever said that New York was a big city has obviously never had to try to live there after a breakup. The twenty-two square miles of Manhattan feels like nothing when David sees Patrick everywhere. The coffee shop on the corner where they met, the Italian place in the West Village where they had their second date, even the sign for the C train that Patrick used to take from his job in the Financial District to David’s gallery in Soho. David sees Patrick’s face in all of it.
David and Patrick broke up months ago, but living with the memories has been hard for them both.

Summary
Patrick had never given much thought to what a miracle David’s hands are, not until now, as he’s sliding a single gold band over David’s left ring finger. David’s hands are soft and smooth where Patrick’s are rough and calloused, and yet, they’re quick and clever and capable. David’s hands have taken Patrick apart and held him together. Their hands together have built this life up brick by brick.
For the prompt: calloused hands in soft hands

Summary
Patrick smiles his usual, mild smile. “What’s your drink?”
David waves a hand dismissively, going back to the last invoice. “It’s complicated. Just get a coffee.”
“No, tell me. I wanna get it right.”The first time David imagines Patrick leaving him, they aren’t even together.
