Emil: Please know Iâm kidding. Though if you do know a place where I can buy already chopped wood, that would be great.
Emil jumped half a foot when his phone rang, and he saw Renzoâs name on the screen. âUh. I can also google,â he said when he answered. âI didnât mean to interrupt your day.â
Renzo laughed. âIâm a professor, so I get all the good holiday time off. Did I ever tell you that?â
Emil frowned. He couldnât remember, but saying no seemed like a safe bet. âI donât think so. What do you teach?â
âScience,â Renzo said. âAll that annoying nerdy shit. But youâre not interrupting. I was sitting here debating about whether I wanted ham or roast beef for lunch.â
âWhy not both?â
âBecause I donât mix lunch meats, you heathen,â Renzo said with a sniff. A beat of silence passed, and then he said, âAre you alone?â
Emil looked through the terrace door and caught a glimpse of one of the men walking through with a small drill. âDelivery guys are here with some furniture.â
âOh. Did you need help setting it up?â
Emil flushed. âI, uhâ¦I paid for the setup. I wouldnât even know where to begin.â
Renzo sighed, but he didnât sound cruel. âFair enough. I had to learn the hard way. My parents got all my dorm furniture from IKEA, and they handed me the little baggie of tools, wished me luck, then left.â
Emil sucked in air through his teeth. âHowâd you survive it?â
âWeed,â Renzo said with a laugh. âWhich Iâll only admit to because Iâm at my sisterâs place and not on campus, where my students might overhear. My roommate and I got really stoned, ordered Pizza Hut wings, and we worked until three in the morning.â
âI bet it felt worth it,â Emil said. He wished he had something like that. Just a single, solitary memory of happiness. Nothing complicated. Just a couple of joints and some cheap bedroom furniture.
âI didnât appreciate it until later, but yeah. Anyway, if you really want some wood, youâre more than welcome to come steal more. I have to pick up Matty this afternoon, but Iâll be home for a while.â
Emil hesitated. It felt like a dangerous offer, mostly because he wanted to read more into it, and he had no rights. Not even after what theyâd done together on the phone.
âYouâre overthinking it, sunshine,â Renzo said. âItâs just wood.â
âDouble entendre intended?â
âIâll think about it,â Renzo said, and Emil somehow knew he was grinning. âWant to pop by?â
He should say no. He needed to say no. âI think theyâre almost done, so yeah. Need me to bring you anything?â
âJust your gorgeous face. Youâ¦do know that you donât actually need to bring people things when you go see them, right?â
âThat sounds like far too much logic for a Thursday afternoon,â Emil told him, finally smiling. He saw the delivery guys starting to pack up, and his heart sped up a few beats. âSee you in twenty?â
âIâll be waiting.â
That sounded like a promise, but before Emil
