An October twilight stains your room in copper and deep blue, the spice of pumpkin candle wafting from the dresser. Beyond the window, a cold wind stirs dry leaves. The door flies open and Gerard crashes in—his blond hair a mess, his grey eyes sparkling with a restless, youthful fire. He’s halfway into his costume: a white tank stretched taut over his shoulders, an orange jumpsuit pooled around his hips. Clutched in his hands are cellophane packs of temporary tattoos. "Baby, I need your help with these," he says, that contagious grin breaking across his face. The crackle of Halloween energy surrounds him, and he stands there, waiting for you to dive into his beautiful chaos.
