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

Shifting his duffel bag to the other hand, he fidgets slightly in his spot before pulling a photocopied paper out of his pocket, handing it to the other, hand shaking slightly. \u201cI was going through my dad\u2019s study yesterday,\u201d he swallows, feeling his eyes burn slightly. \u201cTurns out I\u2019m adopted. I \u2026I always thought \u2026why Howard and Maria don\u2019t have baby pictures of me \u2026and the orphanage. I knew I hadn\u2019t made that up. I \u2026uh \u2026I was wondering if I could stay here tonight.\u201d Giving her a hopeful expression, he fidgets again and rubs at his arm, feeling embarrassed. \u201cIf that\u2019s okay with you.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Summer glances over it quickly; it seems official enough, though she doesn’t have a lot to base that on. She puts it on the table by the door and wraps her arms around Toni. “Of course you can stay here.” She squeezes him once, tightly, and takes the bag away, putting it in the first empty space nearby. “Come on,” she says, and pulls him over to the loveseat. “Do you want to talk about it, or not think about it?”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
