Summary
“Don’t waste my time. When I break your curse don’t kill yourself in the process.”
Neil leans forward. Andrew fights the urge to back away in order to maintain the distance between them. This close, the murky brown of Neil’s eyes eddies and swirls like bathwater down a drain. This close, and he looks almost distant. Andrew wonders if he meant to lean forward at all, or if he’s listing from weakness.
“When,” Neil repeats, his mouth curling about the word like a secret.
Andrew jabs a finger hard into his chest. “Don’t make it if.”
(The one where Andrew's a cursebreaker, Neil gets cursed, and nothing is as easy as it should be.)

Summary
You're probably wondering how I ended up here.
A horseback ride in the Blue Ridge mountains sounds idyllic, if you're the kind of person that takes vacations straight out of the free tourist pamphlets at gas stations. I am not that person.

Summary
"Neil doesn't talk about his mom and doesn't think about what she'd do to him if she saw him now. He has a family, he has Exy, and he has Andrew. He has more than enough, more than he ever could have dreamed of.
Neil doesn't talk about his mom until a warm fall day outside the locker room, waiting for the start of their game with his team and family. It's a place that she doesn't belong, where not even a memory of her belongs, but she wriggles her way in and takes root in his chest."
Or
Neil reveals, piece by piece, what life with his mom was like.

Summary
Neil is the most attractive person Andrew has ever seen in his entire life. Too bad that Andrew can't express that fact (not opinion) properly to him. It all should be fine, it's not like Neil doesn't know he's hot, right?
