    Summary

    Natalie dropped the pretzels she’d been holding. “God help me,” she muttered instantly. “Seriously? Right now?”

    “Yeah,” Gabe said, leaning a bit too heavily on the cart. The wheels squeaked under the sudden shift of weight. “I tried ignoring it for like ten seconds. Didn’t work. Everything’s doing the… fun sparkly thing.”

    Summary

    She didn’t think Gabe would be in his room, despite looking for him there first. He’d had a doctor’s appointment earlier in the day, and they always seemed to set him off slightly (despite them happening at least once every other month). It tended to shift his mood into something negative, avoiding everyone, until he bounced back.

    Natalie hadn’t seen him crying after one since they were both in elementary school.

    Summary

    After getting all the way through to his senior year of high school without really being romantically interested in anyone (except for the occasional person during those terrifying years of middle school), Gabe mostly assumed that it would stay that way.

    He knew Natalie had her thing with Henry, but maybe he just wasn’t suited for it.

    He was very, very wrong.

    Summary

    Gabe hated the kitchen floor at the best of times.

    It was cold tile, hard, and the grout pattern always dug into his skin.

    But the kitchen was the only room in the house right now, at half past two in the morning, where he could turn on the light without waking anyone up. Where the kitchen island was close enough that he could brace against something if the room started tilting again once he eventually stood. It was also the only place far enough from everyone’s bedrooms that he could sit and shake through a pain spike without, again, waking anyone.

    At least, that was the plan.
