Excerpt:
Jim wants, badly, to say yes, because he’s never heard Tony sound so hopeless before. So broken.
But he can’t spend the last night before a six month deployment to the Middle East watching Tony lose himself in a haze of sex, drugs, and alcohol, can’t make that his last memory of his best friend. He wants to ask Tony to stay in instead, but when he turns and puts a little distance between them Tony’s desperation is writ plainly in the pained twist of his mouth, in every tense line of his body.
So Jim swallows what he was going to say, takes a deep breath, and turns Tony towards the door.
