   Summary

   But John isn't anybody else. He's John, and he knows Gale. At least, he used to think that, before Gale got wed and bed and slowly stopped returning his calls.

   "Can I stay here?" Gale asks. The words come out rough, like it pains him to say them. John feels his eyes widen in his face. "Just for a couple days."

   ---

   Or, eight years after the war Gale Cleven shows up on John’s doorstep with a suitcase and a secret.
