Summary
Patrick follows David to his room closely and wordlessly, a very guilty shadow, and sits on the end of Alexis’s bed and tells him about Rachel and watches him with those sincere brown eyes that could make David do almost anything. David stands with his back to the bathroom door, arms crossed protectively around his body and feet planted firmly, but he still has this sensation in his stomach like he’s falling, the telltale hypnic jerk he sometimes gets lying in bed at night, but constant—an unrelenting, nauseating swoop deep in his diaphragm.
There are two Patricks now—the one whose ass David has eaten and the one who grew up holding Rachel’s hand.
After the barbecue, David takes the week to try to understand the people he and Patrick have become thanks to their relationships—old and new.
