MILLER woke up wrapped around Danny, his head on Danny’s chest, their legs twisted together beneath the sheets. Miller had never been a cuddler; he didn’t like anyone touching him while he slept. Rachel teased him about it, but he sensed her undercurrent of hurt, stung by the fact that he didn’t want her too close while his body rested. But sleeping with Danny, that turned out to be different. Danny followed him around the bed like a heat-seeking missile, some part of his body always in contact with Miller’s: foot, hand, full-body press. And the funny thing was, if he woke up and Danny wasn’t touching him, he solved that problem immediately, curling around Danny’s back, drawing Danny onto his shoulder, searching for a free hand. Danny managed to break all of his rules, both big and small, inserting his own game plan into every facet of Miller’s life.

Miller rolled onto his side of the bed, squinting at the time on his cell phone. He’d called Colin last night after Danny had fallen into exhausted sleep and made arrangements for him to bring a car over this morning. He only had about ten minutes before Colin showed up at the door. Miller threw on his clothes from yesterday, the only ones he had, and went out to wait in the parking lot. The last thing he needed was for Colin to catch an eyeful of the lone bed in the motel room, or Danny lying naked across it.

He shoved his hands in his pockets and leaned back against the aging wall of the motel, his coat scraping loose tiny bits of pink stucco to scatter at his feet. He was pretty sure Colin didn’t believe him about the gun, and his job was riding on how he handled the situation from this point on. If Colin pulled him off the case, it would send a clear signal that he didn’t have what it took to move up through the ranks.

Last night you thought Danny being alive was the only thing that mattered.

But last night things had been simple. Fear distilled everything down to its fundamental essence—Danny breathing, Danny in his arms, Danny alive. But this morning, in the sunlight, the terror of their narrow escape was receding and other concerns were crowding in around his feelings for Danny—Rachel, his career, Danny’s past, both their futures. Without that blinding fear of death and the relief of outrunning it, real life was asserting its place in the lineup of what mattered.

It wasn’t even an issue of how much Miller was willing to give up or what he was willing to sacrifice, not really. Because the simple fact was that staying with Danny was not possible. There was no way to keep Danny safe here much longer. He
