Chapter 19

He was glad he had seen her naked. Danny closed his eyes and pictured Anna standing before him, lovely Anna the Swiss physical therapist. She had tried to restore his sex drive, which, according to the neurologists, had a forty percent chance of returning someday, but not that day … and it did not appear as if it would be this day, either. Danny looked down at the limp penis in his hand and wondered what demented spirit inside him even made him want to still try, made him want to take the hunk of dead flesh in his hand and pretend it would rise to the occasion, would become the angry, purple, pulsating beast that had thrilled more than one girl (well, only three in total, if the truth be known).

There had been Jodie, the fourteen-year-old who had more hormones raging than Danny, which was pretty unusual considering he was fifteen and thought of little else. Jodie went to Cambridge Academy, just across the Charles River from Harkness Prep. And Danny’s mother would have killed him if she’d known that the son of the governor was banging a fourteen-year-old on the banks of the river every chance he got, which was pretty much daily, sometimes twice a day depending on their class schedules. It had lasted just a little more than four months, when Jodie’s parents got a divorce and she was sent home to the West Coast to live with her mother fulltime. Danny spent the rest of that year incredibly horny, missing their frenetic, amateur lovemaking and his daily sprints across the bridge. It was because of Jodie, however, that he’d developed a love of crew, having watched the long, flat boats skim through the water for Harvard or BU or BC. If he’d stuck to crew and forgotten about football, he wouldn’t be in the wheelchair now. Jodie, however, would probably have gotten pregnant because they didn’t always use protection, because there wasn’t always time to buy contraceptives, and Jodie said her mother would freak if she went on the pill.

After Jodie, he spent the better part of two years either going into or just coming out of the blissful, yet lonely, state of masturbation, the Commonwealth of Masturbation, the boys at Harkness Prep called it, because they, after all, were the crème de la crème of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and were relegated (for the most part) to shooting their sperm into wads of tissue or into a warm bath, where the little buggers trailed through the water like long, white streamers of egg drop soup.

Then there had been LeeAnn, the tanned, long-legged island girl, whom Danny had known along with her brother, Reggie, during Vineyard summers practically all of his life. They’d been friends—summertime pals—until Danny started college and he chartered their catamaran to Cuttyhunk Island for a day. A dozen guys from Danny’s environmental biology class had gone down to the Vineyard under the guise of studying the remains of Penikese Island—the
