His blinding smile when I walked into his store at lunchtime told me he was happy to see me. Maybe he felt for me what I felt for him. Though I was certain what I felt for him far exceeded his feelings. If the online definitions of love were anything to go by.
He made my heart skip a beat, my breath would catch, and my brain would stop processing . . . It was either love or a medical condition.

LOVE Deacon!!
“Tonight’s going to be fun. But we can leave at any time. If you want to leave, just give me a sign.”
“A sign?”
“Yep. A signal that tells me you’d like to leave.”
“Such as?”
I had to think. “Uh . . . tug on my sleeve. Then you don’t have to say anything, but I’ll know and we can make a run for it.”
His eyes went wide. “A run for it? I don’t think running is an appropriate social response.”

To go on a date with someone would imply dating, or was there a specific number of dates to be had before the term dating applied? I wasn’t sure, and I didn’t feel comfortable asking Mom or Dad that question. Maybe I could ask Google . . . no. Maybe I needed to ask Winter that.
“I’m going to bed now,” I said, before taking my leave. “I have a lot of overthinking to do, and I’d rather do it in my room.”

“You going to Deacon's bedroom raises more questions than answers.”
“He showed me his bookcase.”
She snorted. “Wow. So that’s like second base for you.”
I ignored that. “And their bookcase in their house is one entire wall, floor to ceiling. And the house is all warm greens and browns. Imagine if Bilbo Baggins owned Belle’s library.”
She squinted and tilted her head as she tried to picture that. “Uhhh.”

“What do you want to do, Deacon?”
“More. I want to see you more, if that’s what you want. I know I’m different—”
“You’re not different,” I said. “You’re perfectly you.”

“If I know I have something coming up, I fixate . . .”
OMG! SO many Deacon-isms that I relate to ... so strongly! Hmmm...

Love it!
Gunter grabbed my arm. "I’m gay.” Rob nodded. “And I’m like gay gay.”
“Oh, am I being sequestered into some queer sex cult? Because you should know that while I am also gay gay, I’m also very asexual and not really interested in debauchery. It’s just not my thing. So if there’s, like meetings or something, I can take down the minutes or make flyers, but I’ll leave the immersive experiences to you.”
