Chapter 14

“Are you sure you don’t want to go on a road trip?” Kellan asked Matt. “We could go hiking on the Appalachian Trail, or head west and visit all the national parks, or—”

Matt interrupted with a hand on Kellan’s shoulder. “Someday,” he said, “somedaywe will have enough money to travel the whole world together, and there is no one I would rather have with me to make all those wonderful sights more wonderful because I get to share the memories with you, but we’re also going to share the memory of beating this together.”

Kellan and Matt spent the rest of their day trying to be as normal as possible. They cooked dinner, cleaned up, watched a cheesy horror movie on TV, and before they went to sleep Kellan sucked Matt off. He was too tense and tired for anything else, but by that point he was so consumed with love for Matt that a mere hug or kiss wasn’t enough to show it.
