Round two bled into round twenty. Were they making progress? Dahl ached: wounded and longing. At some point, when he was face down in the dirt after being hauled back to reality, Everest rolled him over with exertion-trembling arms and kissed him hard enough to split his lip. They stripped off coats, shirts, and belts—filthy, sweat-caked and bleeding. Dahl couldn’t think and he couldn’t stop. There was nothing in the world but filling his raging emptiness with Everest’s body.

Afterward Everest lay in his arms, crammed into the back seat of the Mustang with the heat cranked on high, both of their coats stacked as blankets. His head rested against Dahl’s chest, oddly tender, like an extension of his heart.

“Did we accomplish anything?” It hurt to speak. Had he been yelling? The words scratched on the way out.

“I don’t know. We should come back tomorrow with fresh eyes.”

“This wasn’t what I expected,” Dahl whispered into Everest’s shaggy hair, breathing him in.

“What did you expect?”

“Less blacking out. Less unbridled lust. I hoped we’d get farther today.” Awkward, cramped fingers played along Dahl’s spine. “We need this. We have to be able to cross the barrier if we are going to rescue Card.”

“It’s the first day. Give it time.” Everest’s voice was drowsy.

“We don’t have any.”

“It’s the most we can do.”

Dahl closed his eyes. Lavender and blood fetor filled his lungs. “Say something reassuring.”

Everest was quiet for almost a full minute before speaking. “Yessir.”
