Summary
A collection of moments from Neil's second winter with the foxes, and his attempts to process his trauma.
Or five times the foxes showed Neil genuine affection, and the one time it finally broke him.“You’re not staying over break are you Neil?” Dan asked, as if he had anywhere else to go. There was nowhere left for him outside of Palmetto.
Neil fiddled with the zipper of his jacket, sliding the tab up and down the chain, “I’ll go wherever Andrew’s going.” He hadn’t meant for it to sound so sentimental but Dan’s soft awe caught him off guard. He looked over at Allison who was rolling her eyes, now reclined on the other side of the bed. His fingers tripped over the zipper and he realized with a start that his face had begun to flush.
“I won't tell Nicky you said that if you let me paint your nails.” Allison offered snarkily, smirking at him again.
Dan scoffed and started out of the room, “I’m gonna heat up dinner, are you staying Neil?” She looked back briefly for his response. He nodded before turning back to Allison, “I don’t care what you tell Nicky.” He told her, and it was only half a lie.
