MAXIMOFF HALE

I rest back on the sofa, feet on the floor, and an icepack melts on my sore shoulder. Pitch-black in my parent’s living room late tonight, the only glow comes from our cellphones and the television (paused on Farrow’s favorite movie).

Farrow sprawls out, his head on my thigh, and I feel his muscles flex, tensing. He rubs his thumb back and forth over a hoop lip piercing, his eyes fixed on a phone screen.

He lets out an aggravated breath. “Whoever the fuck is blowing up the comments under my photos needs to find some shit they like, because it’s definitely not me.”

I tear the phone out of his hand.

“Maximoff.” He doesn’t sit up. Due to the conked-out baby on his chest—one of the few times Ripley has fallen asleep on Farrow.

The image is so priceless that I’ve engrained every last detail for millenniums to come.

Cozy warm in yellow Wolverine PJs, Ripley’s little body rises with each soft breath. And his tiny fingers curl around the collar of Farrow’s black V-neck. He’s content.

Happy. Drooling.

And blissfully unaware of anonymous trolls annoying his dad. Only a handful of things can dig under Farrow’s skin, and I know what scraped his nerves raw tonight.

“Let me block them, man.” I work through blocking about thirty or forty Instagram users who’ve decided to unleash their feelings about Farrow and me on Farrow’s personal social media.

YOU are the problem! Get out of Maximoff’s life RIGHT NOW! We hate you!
