Summary
There’s still a lot more that Patrick wants for them, is what it’s about. A bigger house, because Stevie’s whispered teasing about how their cottage is really too small for the rest of their lives and the way David elbows her to shut her up itches at the back of his brain on a weekly basis and whenever David texts him a creative storage solution. He wants David to always say our store like he’s proud of it. He needs more nights curled up on the couch with David, feeding each other bites of whatever David’s baked because now that they have a kitchen, David’s made his feelings on Patrick’s limited cooking repertoire very clear and taken over the lion’s share of their dinners. More nights telling each other stories about their days, present or past, as the sun sets through the big window on the west wall.
Things will calm down after the third store opens. Then they’ll work more on reestablishing themselves as a unit in town and Twyla’s consternation over making both of their drinks before she realizes David isn’t with him will be a thing of the past.
It’ll take a while, but they’ll get there.
Or, marriage is a verb. David and Patrick work on it, three years in.
