full sight of at least twenty-five to forty little kids and their
parents, I d kiss you until your knees gave out again. In a
moment, I m gonna take my hand away from your mouth, and
you re gonna say yes, Devon and you re gonna be saying
yes to these things: me coming to your house tonight. I ll
make dinner, and you ll study, and then when you re done
I ll put away whatever I m doing and we ll go to bed. I m
not going to have sex with you tonight, because if we get
started, you won t get any sleep, and then you ll flunk your
exam. So you ll sleep under the blankets and I ll sleep on
top, but I ll still have you in my arms all night. Then,
tomorrow, after your exam is over and I get home from my
regular job, we ll spend a little time talking. You re gonna
have the night off because you re gonna call Andy first thing
in the morning, and I m not covering another night for Rose.
He never stays sick longer than a day anyway. And after we
talk, I m gonna take you to bed, but not to sleep. After that
we ll see where this thing is going.

stared down at him, and the whole mall seemed to fall away,
all the noises of restless children and muzak versions of at
least three different Christmas carols fading into the back
ground. Adrien lifted his to-go cup of hot coco to his face,
breathed in the warm rich chocolate and cinnamon smell of
the drink and with a heart as light as the fragrant steam rising
from his drink spoke the only two words possible. Yes,
Devon.
The End
