Sometimes Silver seemed reluctant, giving reasons they shouldn't have moved in together, or refusing to go to social events as James's plus one, or getting twitchy over them buying a new duvet or a toaster. As if he wasn't going to stay put.

Other times Silver moved with breakneck speed, booking a romantic weekend away, joking about setting up a wedding registry, looking at pet adoptions, and telling strangers James was his husband. As if he wanted everything now.

The best times were when they sat quietly, talking, drinking, smiling. No reticence, no rushing. Being in the moment. Being happy.
