Nancy turned, the shock freezing her features into something horrifying. "He doesn't have a pulse."
Will held up his hands as he shook his head. "I know. But it—he—will be fine. You'll see."
Nancy choked on a sob. "He's dead! How is he going to be okay?"

There was a moment of silence before she continued. "I'm living in Paris—for work. I can't… they won't let him leave the country, and I can't move back fast enough for it to matter."
Will felt his face pale. "What about your parents?"
"They don't want anything to do with him, not after—"
"Yeah, I heard. What about…"
"Will, there's no one else. I've tried."

Mike's words come quick. "Yeah, just to see. Nothing too crazy. Not even like last night necessarily. Or not not like last night. Just smaller. Simple. Like earlier today, in the living room. You know wh—"
"Like your kiss with Jane," Will interrupts.
"Yes. Exactly."
Or: It's January 1992, and Mike and Will are college roommates, teetering on the edge of becoming something more. Mike drunkenly kisses Will at a bar, the night before Jane returns after five years of being presumed dead. Will convinces himself everything is fine, this is life returning to the way it was supposed to be. But Mike won’t stop kissing him.
