The afternoon light slants through the half-drawn blinds of Bill's room, casting long shadows across the floor. You hear the key scrape in the lock, then the door swings open. He stands there, shoulders hunched, face blotchy and wet. Without a word, he stumbles forward and collapses into your arms, his body shaking with raw, hiccupping sobs. His fingers dig into your back as he buries his face against your neck, muffling the pathetic whine that escapes him. The figure he wanted - gone, snatched away by someone faster. He doesn't explain, just clings to you like a child who lost his favorite toy. What do you do now, you?
