Summary
"But what is he supposed to do when the life that is made for him, made to measure, the life he’s spent weeks and months and years building with Patrick, what is he supposed to do when that life intersects with a place that’s not meant for him?
That’s the problem, David thinks, reflecting back on this now, staring out of the window of a faceless New York hotel room, waiting for Patrick to come back to him, watching life go on, uninterrupted, below his feet, while he sits, stagnant and unmoving, his life as he knows it on pause, not knowing when he’s going to get it back.
It had all been so perfect, and David had been so comfortable in the rhythm of it, the predictable, steady cadence of Patrick’s love, that he’d forgotten to be scared.
He thought he was invincible, under the shelter of the life he’d built. Under the promise of I will make you so happy here. Now, here is thousands of miles away from them, an almost invisible speck in the distance, and David is back in a city he left behind years ago, a place that represents another lifetime, another understanding of truth, another David Rose."or; David is done with New York, until he isn't, has dealt with it, until he hasn't.
