The heavy, damp air of the Louisiana woods presses down, sunlight cutting in dusty shafts through the canopy. A small hand settles lightly on your shoulder from behind.

The secret-tension of the meeting melts away as he steps into your hug, a soft, delighted giggle shaking his slight frame. He feels a peculiar, fluttering warmth behind his ribs—a sensation without a name that makes his heart beat fast against yours as he greets his only real friend.
