As　Dan　watched　him　walk　away；　he　couldn？t　help　feeling　a　little　sad。　Not　about　Greg；　but　about

love　in　general。　He　wanted　what　Greg　had　described：　someone　to　sit　around　and　drink　coffee　with

in　the　morning。　Someone　he　could　do　all　those　dopey；　ridiculously　romantic　New　York　things　with

before　he　left　for　Evergreen？like　watch　every　Woody　Allen　movie　filmed　in　Manhattan；　or　take　a

carriage　ride　through　Central　Park　under　a　full　moon。　Someone　to　wake　up　with　every　morning；

the　light　covering　their　bare　skin　like　a　golden　blanket　。　。　。

Pale　fury。Why　did　you　leave　me？

He　pulled　out　his　notebook　and　scribbled　furiously；　unsure　of　what　he　was　writing。

Eyes　closed；　our　bones　ache。

This　isn？t　chemistry　or　geography。

It？s　physics。　Pure　physics。

Dan　still　wasn？t　sure　what　he　was　trying　to　say；　but　it　was　something　to　do　with　friction；　and

friction　caused　heat；　and　when　he　thought　about　heat　he　couldn？t　help　but　think　about　a　certain

prickly…headed　girl　lying　next　to　him　in　bed。　His　hands　began　to　sweat　as　he　continued　to　write。

Not　feeling　so　gay　anymore；　eh？

maybe　a　leopard　can　change　her　spots

？Watch　where　you？re　going；　man！？

A　yellow　cab　swerved　on　the　shimmering　black　asphalt；　almost　grazing　Vanessa？s　arm　as　she

crossed　Broadway；　squinting　into　the　annihilating　afternoon　sunlight。　The　cabbie？s　rude；　grating

voice　lingered　in　her　ears。　Did　he　sayman　？　Vanessa　smiled　smugly　to　herself。Well　；　she　thought；

picking　up　the　pace；that？s　what　you　get　for　having　such　a　sleek；　aerodynamic　hairstyle。

Doesn？t　she　mean　androgynous？

She？d　gone　downtown　around　noon　to　film　some　of　Ruby？s　East　Village　hangouts　in　the　daylight；

but　now；　faced　with　the　sweltering　heat　of　the　day；　she　was　ready　for　a　break。　She　rubbed　her

stubbly　head　with　one　hand　as　she　waited　for　the　light　to　change。

The　Strand　bookstore　was　half　a　block　away；　its　carts　of　moldy　discount　books　parked　out　front。

Vanessa　wondered　if　Dan　was　working？she？d　been　avoiding　him　the　last　few　days　after　the　whole

romantic…gay…poetry　incident；　but　maybe　she？d　just　stop　by　and　say　hi。　She　watched　the　little　red

hand　warning　her　to　stay　put。

College　was　just　around　the　corner；　and　soon　Dan？along　with　just　about　everyone　else？would　be

gone。　Well；　Ruby　would　be　around；　but　it　wasn？t　exactly　the　same　between　them　anymore？now
