Summary
One of the glorious things about love is being able to relax and just exist around the other person.

Summary
David zones back into the horror of a conversation happening around him in time to hear his dad ask “...where exactly are we supposed to go?”
“What about my town?” he asks quietly. The box with his deed got tucked safely under a handful of sweaters when he packed the remnants of his life into suitcases. It’s sitting in the entrance hall of the house they’ll no longer call home by the time the business day ends.
No-one’s listening to him, so he tries again, a little louder. “What about my town?"
Or: On his eighth birthday, David Rose receives a town.
