I LOVE THIS. Oh, I can't even tell you how much I love this, but it is hugely, hugely. It's so so gorgeous!! Meeeep, John's knee! And Rodney would be warm and sturdy too, and John would stretch himself all along Rodney's shoulders, spine, his legs, and under his t-shirt, John's borrowed t-shirt, he'd be like a fire, or electricity, covered up by skin, and this odd waterbird, and Nantucket becomes smaller and smaller, a smooth-edged arrowhead piercing the water. The southern coast of the Vineyard is a gentle sine wave or a whale’s back where it curves into Nantucket, and the Cape hooks like a talon around the bowl of the horizon . . . I could seriously quote every phrase of this back to you and tell you how perfectly-formed it is. Oh, gosh, I LOVE them, and I love that they've found each other, and I love what you let them mean to each other here. ♥ ♥ ♥
