““He didn’t say anything, because he couldn’t. Because he wanted to say things like I can’t sleep with you because it wouldn’t be like the other guys I fuck. I can’t sleep with you because I already think about you way too much, care way too much, and if I sleep with you, I’m scared to think about how bad it would be if things didn’t work out, if you went away too like everybody else always does. He couldn’t say any of that, which meant he couldn’t, not really, say anything at all.””
