RYAN CLOSED La Tazza at ten o’clock and went home to call Mark. It took him a few minutes to decompress and slip back into being Ian.

“I think Matthew likes me.”

“He’s a piece of work, that one,” Mark said. “Bizarre but fascinating discussion this morning. And I hate to disagree with you, but I think Matthew likes Ryan.”

“That’s what I meant.”

A pause.

“This is weird,” Mark said.

“I know.”

“Let’s talk about something else.”

“Ryan has a date with Bartley on Friday. Bess Bistro and tour afterward. Maybe walking, maybe driving. He’s going to give it some thought and come up with something. Mark, I haven’t been this excited about a date in over five years.”

“I’m happy for you. Really. It’s sad, that’s all.”

“What’s sad?”

“Ian is slowly disappearing. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not blaming you. You have to do it. You have to become Ryan. But it feels like my friend is slipping away, and a part of me doesn’t like it.”

“I’m sorry. I’ll try to be Ian when we talk.”

“No. That’s not smart. I can be friends with Ryan. I think he can even help keep me young. But it’s never going to be the same, and we both know it. Your life is beginning all over again, and mine… well, mine isn’t.”
