    Summary

    Two weeks before he’d packed his life into a suitcase and gotten on the first bus to Nowheresville, Adam had stopped returning his therapist’s phone calls. We should work on your emotional avoidance, his therapist had said, and then Adam had started avoiding him, which was poetry in motion, in Adam’s opinion. It was the funniest possible thing he could have done in response to that topic being broached. Adam didn’t suffer with all the grandiosity and aplomb of a saint actively being martyred in a public square; even though he sometimes wished that privilege might be afforded to him. Just once, Adam would like to make a big deal about something. He would like to do whatever the Adam Parrish equivalent was to slitting his wrists or blowing part of his inheritance on a fishing boat just to piss someone else off.

    or: adam thinks he should be happy by now. ronan owns a fishing boat. they meet.
