“We fall into a familiar rhythm of filthy kisses and eager hands. Soon we're shedding our clothing onto the floor.
"Mmm, shower," Max mutters against my lips. "I need a shower. I'm so dirty right now."
I lean away, playfully pulling out of his hold, and walk down the hallway to stand by the bathroom door.
"You know, if I'm gonna move in, first I think I'd like a tour of the bathroom, specifically the shower. I need to know what kind of water pressure this place has before I commit to anything."
A mischievous gleam flashes in his eyes. "You've been in that shower once or twice before. And you seemed to enjoy your time in there, if I remember correctly."
"True, but I think I need to test it out one more time. Just to be sure I know what I'm getting."
That half smile I love so much appears. As I stand there, I soak in the bliss of this moment. Max and I are together. After eighteen months of harboring secret crushes on each other, a million friendly conversations---and a few super-awkward ones---and all the conflict and work upheaval and family struggles, we're here. Together. Back in each other's arms and crazy in love.

"Allow me to give you an up-close-and-personal grand tour of the shower," he says.
"And the bedroom after that?"
"Absolutely."
And for the next few hours, Max Boyson gives me one hell of a grand tour.”

We fear this because, if it’s true, then we become estranged from all we know. We pass through a membrane. We become monsters and monstrous.”

“We fear that if we go into our deeper emotions, we will be consumed by them. We fear that if we close our bedroom door and face the emotion, we will be consumed by the monstrous darkness of our inner being. We think our fears will turn us into a neurotic mess of blubber, our anger will turn us into raving lunatics, and our sadness will be so overwhelming that we will never function in the world again. It is not so. One only has to practice this a few times to know that, far from destroying us, going into our inner thoughts deeply works them through to their conclusion, or at least to some degree.”
