"Loving Rook was effortless for me. Effortless because I’d always known. It wasn’t a maybe kind of thing, or a let’s try, it was years of hopeful smiles and subtle touches, disseminating each one and wondering if this time… just maybe… It was hours of talking in the dark shade of trees and knowing that this person, this one man, owned all of my secrets. All but one. And it was a million days of wanting to give him that secret, wanting to give him everything."
I wished it was as easy as gay or straight. What if being alone was my happily ever after? Would that be so bad?
"No matter how mad I thought I should be, Luka was broken. And I wanted to hold all his pieces together, and I wanted him to hold mine."
"Death had a way of making anger feel petty. What was five years of misunderstanding to a lifetime ready to be buried?"
"I was in my head now, with every I love you, every touch and kiss Luka and I had shared since he’d come home, and there wasn’t a fiber in my body that didn’t yearn for it. Yearn for him and a future I couldn’t fathom without him."
