A Dangerous Game

Wren wondered how to even have a normal conversation with Devin, or if he had ever had one before. Now that he thought about it, the only real back-and-forth discussion they’d ever had was over things like whether they should go the baths together or invite a third, or fourth, guy back to Devin’s apartment when they were out at a bar.
