June: Good thinking.

The truth is, Henry and I have been together since the beginning of this year. The truth is, as many of you have read, we have both struggled every day with what this means for our families, our countries, and our futures. The truth is, we have both had to make compromises that cost us sleep at night in order to afford us enough time to share our relationship with the world on our own terms. We were not afforded that liberty. 

i’ve always thought of myself as a problem that deserved to stay hidden.  never quite trusted myself, or what I wanted. before you, i was all right letting everything happen to me. i honestly have never thought i deserved to choose.

Alex: …Well I can’t say that you’re wrong because that👏ass👏is👏a👏national👏treasure👏, but what do we say after we say that?

Thank you for coming to my Ted talk. Yes I know how that sounds.

“Sorry,” Nora says. She sits down heavily. “I drank like nine Red Bulls to get through all of those and ate a weed gummy to level back out, so I’m flying at fasten-seat-belts right now.”

“I am the First Son of the United States, and I’m bisexual. History will remember us.” 

Alex and Nora both scream too, and they haul her into a six-armed hug, whooping and laughing and stomping on one another’s feet and not caring. They all end up kicking off their shoes and jumping on the bed, and Nora FaceTimes Bea, who finds Henry and Pez in one of Henry’s rooms, and they all celebrate together. It feels complete, the gang, as Cash once called them. They’ve earned their own media nickname in the wake of everything: The Super Six.
