Robin wishes he'd never mentioned New York or the Village. He wishes he could go back to right before then-idling in the cool grass, feeling as if he'd awakened to the place he and Todd were meant to discover together, their private hideaway. He knows-isn't it obvious?-it was his fault the spell had been broken. He should have just kept his mouth shut; he thinks of Jackson saying, "You ask for it"; he thinks of Scott saying, "Don't make a big deal about it." Still, he can't shake that image of Todd banging his sneaker against the golf green, flipping out about the Village, then stomping away in a rage. That was the most unexpected thing of all, maybe even more unexpected than Todd's mouth on his dick-seeing Todd Spicer completely lose his cool.

Robin takes his seat at the kitchen table in front of a plate of steaming scrambled eggs. Ruby stands at the sink, washing out the last of the pots and pans Clark has used to prepare breakfast. The kitchen is bright with the light of late morning. His mother has put a breezy and plaintive Miles Davis album on the turntable, but the music plays in contrast to her obvious fatigue. She drops herself sluggishly onto a seat at the table, which does not surprise Robin. When he had gotten home from the party, resigned to whatever punishment awaited, his parents were locked in their bedroom arguing strenuously. He wiped grime off himself and brushed his teeth and climbed into Ruby's bed, falling asleep before talking to anyone.

Now his head pounds dully, six chewable orange-flavored aspirin not yet having any effect on the alcohol still sluicing through his bloodstream. This is a hangover, he realizes, the morning after everyone talks about. He doesn't think he can make himself eat, not only because he feels physically ill but because he's anxiously awaiting an interrogation about why he got home so late, and he's still not sure what made-up story he's going to offer to them.

"Should we say grace?" Ruby asks.
