Summer never has visitors. She scrambles out of her chair and pulls the door open, blinking up at Toni. \u201cToni?\u201d Immediately she can tell something\u2019s wrong. \u201cWhat is it? Come in, come in.\u201d She gestures him in, shuts the door. \u201cWhat\u2019s going on?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Summer glances over it quickly; it seems official enough, though she doesn\u2019t have a lot to base that on. She puts it on the table by the door and wraps her arms around Toni. \u201cOf course you can stay here.\u201d She squeezes him once, tightly, and takes the bag away, putting it in the first empty space nearby. \u201cCome on,\u201d she says, and pulls him over to the loveseat. \u201cDo you want to talk about it, or not think about it?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Toni shrugs, leaning against her to wrap his arms around her tiny waist. \u201cI don\u2019t know what to think,\u201d he murmurs, tucking his face in the crook of her neck. Closing his eyes, he takes a deep breath, feeling his heart constrict again. \u201cSummer, why do you think they didn\u2019t want me?\u201d He\u2019s not crying, but his throat is scratchy and he\u2019s just so done with all of this.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

She strokes his hair. “Don’t say that. Don’t say that, Toni, you don’t know that. Sometimes you can’t have what you want; things just don’t allow for it. I’m sure, I’m so sure, you were wanted, you were loved, just like you are now.” She cups his cheek, smoothing away the tearmarks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
