    Summary

    Frank is gone. The phone he left behind is for emergencies only.

    Except. What counts as an emergency, really?

    Peter texts him anyway. The city. New gossip from his building. The sandwich he ate. A moon that will not photograph well. Frank doesn’t answer. It doesn’t matter. The messages are only crumbs, so Frank can find his way back.

    Peter does not text the rest. How he wants him beyond the friendship, beyond the life they had before Frank left on a mission. How his heart turns over when Frank finally writes. How he sits on the bed, pulse racing, thumb on the glass, and sends a picture casual enough, innocent enough, that if this isn’t what Peter thinks it is, Frank can ignore it.

    Except. The screen lights up in the dark. Frank is typing.
