When Carver woke, he knew at once that it was early. Weak morning light peeked between his plastic blinds. He didn’t often see this time of day. Especially not when he worked as late as he had this week.

A voice behind him said, “I’m glad we got to do this before I left.”

Memories from the night filtered into his sleep-fogged brain. He rolled to his back and saw Daniel, seated at the foot of the bed, bundling the last of the rope they hadn’t thought to put away. He was dressed in the clothes he’d worn last night. His hair made it obvious he hadn’t been awake for long.

“The rope stuff?” he asked. “Or the sleepover?”

Daniel breathed through a laugh. “Both, I guess.” He flipped his messenger bag closed. “I need to get home before my morning class. Do some laundry. Find time to pack.”

He swallowed and considered his words. “I thought you had another couple days.”

“I do,” Daniel confirmed, keeping his eyes on the floor. “But they’re the busiest of my trip. I’ve got public talks on top of the lectures, and I need to make the rounds with the faculty. Make sure they like me enough to invite me back sometime.”

He shifted up, sitting so his back leaned against the wall. “You gonna need a ride to the airport, then?”

Daniel nodded. “Monday afternoon, I guess. Yeah.”

“Might have Martha’s car back to you by then. Parts came in yesterday.”

“That’d be great.”

They were both silent for longer this time. He didn’t know what to say as Daniel watched him, observant as ever. He wouldn’t mind if Daniel reached for him, maybe kissed him goodbye. But he wasn’t holding his breath.

“Do you work this Sunday?”

He shook his head. Daniel looked to be weighing his words. “Can I see you again before I leave? You could come by my place for once. I’ll make you dinner.”

Carver laid all the way down and pulled a pillow over his face. “There’s no way you can do all this kinky shit, speak thirty languages and know how to cook. Don’t even fuckin’ say it.”

“Fourteen. And is that a yes?”

He laughed into the pillow. “Sure. It’s a date.”
