    Summary

    The one where Andrew makes a perfectly reasonable request and Neil takes it too far like the dumbass he is.

    Or, relationships are complicated and communication is hard. They don't always nail it.

     

    So, Andrew has hit his limit. Neil’s charged silence next to him is so loud that Andrew can’t read over the buzz of it in his ears.

     

    “Get out,” he says, turning to glare at Neil.

     

    Neil blinks at him.

     

    “Whatever stupid thing you’re obsessing over. It’s irritating. I don’t have time to solve your problems for you. Handle it. I have to study.”

     

    Instantly, he realizes it was a mistake. He watches Neil’s face and body shutter up, closing tight like he’s locking down for a hurricane. It took so fucking long to get Neil to open up in the first place. Andrew had to peel him open one truth at a time. Fuck.

    Summary

    He flips Neil’s phone open and scrolls through the call history. It’s not a long list; his own name is at the bottom, then there’s a call from Nicky one from Dan. There’s an outgoing call from Neil’s phone to Andrew’s – that day they went to Atlanta – and one to a number that isn’t saved but that Andrew recognises as Bee’s.

    And then there’s a call from an unknown number, no more than an hour ago.

    He wants to call it. He wants to call it and demand where Neil is, wants to find out whoever the number belongs to and bash their head into a wall, break every bone in their body until Neil is back with them.

    Summary

    She could be so small, he marveled. She was a cat, sleek and windy. A mouse, whiskers perfect and round ears quivering. A moth, fragile and dusty. A caterpillar, wriggly and colorful. She almost disappears.

    “Alex,” his mother chided, her voice low and hand tight around his upper arm, but if she wasn't looking at him it would've taken him a moment to know who she meant. She was scared, she’s terrified, her pupils are dots, even though they were just in the second last row of a near-empty greyhound bus. “Stop playing. Are you listening to me?”

    In his hand, Marie turned into a pill bug and curled up tight. He closed his hand around her, making her disappear.

    Summary

    “So,” Neil asks as he washes his paint-covered hands in the kitchen sink, “Christmas.”

    Andrew glares and says nothing. This year, Neil and Andrew are spending Christmas with Andrew’s brother, Aaron Minyard. Aaron Minyard, Andrew’s twin whose existence was unknown to him until two months previous. Aaron Minyard, an orthopedic surgeon with a wife (an oncologist, naturally) and two daughters. Aaron Minyard, who grew up with a mother that chose him.

    **

    Andrew Doe has survived until now without any biological family, and his life turned out pretty good, considering all of the reasons it shouldn't have. At age twenty-nine, Andrew's book becomes a bestseller and leads his long-lost twin brother to him. Familial drama ensues.

    Summary

    He’d thought Neil, with his smart mouth and his wild eyes, would be satisfied with what Andrew was offering. He guesses he’d thought Neil was used to living on scraps—and Andrew has never had anything meatier to give.

     

    He’d been wrong.
