Summary
The numbers on the back of her hand read 00:02:26 when the bell rings out again. Each time, it sets Savannah further on edge — at some point closer to zero, the bell will chime and her actual soulmate will walk in through the door. It’s an intimidating prospect.
“Okay, what the freak. This place doesn’t do mochas?!”
A loud voice interrupts her quiet contemplation. Savannah grimaces into her cup.
(The day has finally arrived for Savannah to meet her soulmate. If only the guy in the coffee shop would shut up for two minutes and let her have her moment.)

Summary
“This hurts,” 5up complains plaintively when Steve massages the water into his scalp, using his free hand.
“Tough shit, 5up. That’s what you get for wanting to look like Troye Sivan.” Steve prods him and snorts. “Which you don’t, by the way.”
(5up goes blond. He’s lucky he has such a kind and supportive boyfriend.)

Summary
“Where’s the engagement ring?” David asks cheekily. 5up splutters.
“The engagement— What? There is no— We aren’t— Steven and I are not like that.” He raises his chin defiantly, looking down his nose at David. Or he tries to, at least. The slight height disparity works to his disadvantage.
David is unfazed. “You’re living at his place. You moved in with him,” he reminds 5up, not unkindly. Hafu snickers at the outrage on his face. “You’re together.”
(Hafu offers some advice to a friend. She doesn’t regret it until she does.)

Summary
Fifty-one, fifty-two, fifty-three…
He traces his fingertip from freckle to freckle, like counting stars on an image of the night sky. Steve doesn’t mention it, though his muscles twitch whenever 5up brushes over a particularly sensitive spot. With his other arm, he tucks his thumb under the hem of 5up’s sweater to rub slow circles into the skin of his waist.
A contented sigh slips out of 5up’s lips. He smiles and kisses the underside of Steve’s jaw.
(The sun sets; 5up sleeps. Counting sheep is overrated, anyway.)

Summary
“What is it this time?”
“Oh, this little guy? He has a splinter,” Steven says dismissively. “When does your shift end?”
“Which paw?” 5up will not get distracted. He will not.
Steven sets Littlefoot down on the table with a shrug. “Dunno. Didn’t check. Is it the usual — Seven?”
(5up grows suspicious of a frequent client to his veterinary clinic. Really, how many things can possibly be wrong with one small dog?)

Summary
“That’s what your problem is. That’s not…” 5up shakes his head and smiles back at the ground, like Steve said something terribly silly. “Tennis isn’t about, you know. Going pro or playing college or whatever. Really, it’s about… fifteen seconds. Fifteen seconds when you’re on the court with somebody, and it’s just— it’s like— it’s a relationship. Sort of. Fifteen seconds where you understand somebody completely and nothing else matters. Like you’re in love.”
break point (n.) — a situation in tennis in which the receiving player can win the game by scoring the next point.
Steve and Apollo go chasing after pipe dreams, tennis balls, 5up, and each other for thirteen years. A lot can change in a decade. But a lot can stay the same, too.
