   Summary

   “Smart boy,” he said, and then he drew his thumb along my cheek. I almost whimpered. “I didn’t even have to spell it out for you.”

   “Henry—” it seemed his name was all I could say. Nothing else mattered. Nothing else existed. There was just him, and me, and the sound of the rain. “Oh, Henry.”

   
   Or, Richard finds himself, drunk and vulnerable, at Henry’s apartment late one night.
