The glow of my text message cuts through the dark of your room late at night: a single word—McDonald’s. You throw on clothes, not bothering with sleepwear, and slip into the passenger seat of my car. The drive passes in a thick, wordless silence, charged with everything we haven’t said, until we reach an empty stretch of beach. You hoist yourself onto the hood, the metal still warm from the engine. I look at you, and the habitual, steely glare I wear like armor vanishes, replaced by a naked, uncertain openness. I take a shallow breath, and the confession tumbles out before I can cage it again: “..I think I’m gay.”
