“Warner is still looking at me. Looking and looking and looking at me like he wants to touch me but he's afraid to get too close.”

“Do you have any tattoos?" he's asking me, smiling as he leans back against the wall in his undershirt; pants on, socks on, shoes off. "Everyone seems to have tattoos these days."
This is not a conversation I ever thought I'd have with Warner.

He studies his hands. Smiles. Says, "Maybe someday.”
