    Summary

    Tashi’s mom waited for her to stop hiccuping too violently to speak before she asked, “Do you think you could forgive Art? In the same situation?”

    Tashi snorted a laugh in the middle of crying, then had to mop up the snot with the same wad of toilet paper she’d been clutching since the last time she’d done that. “If he slept with Patrick? Probably.”

    “Oh, Tashi,” her mom said, and the sudden switch to anger was reassuring. That was a form of certainty. “Patrick? Really?”

    Tashi momentarily regressed to eighteen and said, “You don’t know him.”

    The quarter-life crisis before Tashi Duncan became Tashi Donaldson.

    Summary

    And look: this whole thing could probably be resolved with a single honest conversation. He’s sure that with a little communication they could all manage to come to some arrangement. In fact, Patrick is pretty certain that he could fix their marriage himself by finally getting them both into bed at the same time. But Art is extremely reticent to voice what he actually wants, and Tashi can’t do anything without making it into a game, so here they are, each sneaking into Patrick’s bed and pretending that they’re mad about it.

    Patrick has no problem voicing what he wants or being direct. He wants Art. And he wants Tashi. If they could get their shit together and realize that they both want him, too, he’d probably be the happiest man in the goddamn world.

    Summary

    “Tashi,” he says softly. “I thought we talked about me retiring next season.”

    Everything stops.

    “What?” she says. It comes out sharp, although she hadn’t meant it to. “You’re still on that?”

    ***

    Art retires. Patrick moves in. And Tashi has to keep her feet moving, or else she'll drown.
