How We Lived (Entangled Embrace) - Plot & Excerpts
“My place? I don’t think your parents will care.” Of course they wouldn’t. I was barely a blip on their radar screen. I tried the fake smile on him again. “Just for a little while, okay? I’m getting kind of tired.” Bear was lucky. His father let him stay in the studio apartment above the family business, Pearse’s Garage, as long as he worked there. He’d moved in sometime after Kyle died. The apartment was pitch black when we came in. Bear strode across the room and turned on a lamp, casting a small glow over everything. His place always smelled the same, a mixture of cheap soap and the deli meats he used in his sandwiches for lunch every day. For a guy, he kept his place relatively neat. I’d helped him decorate when he moved in and ever since, I’d pick up little things I thought he’d like. There was just as much of me in his apartment as there was of him. A picture of me, him, and Kyle sat atop the TV stand, and another one of just him and me, with a torn edge, was propped on his dresser.
