John beams at him. In the slanting morning light, silver threads shine in his hairline when he tips his face to a certain angle, where his cheeks sharpen and the years are written honestly in the lines beside his eyes. He is just as strikingly handsome as Gale remembers from the very beginning—a lifetime ago, shaking his hand by the hangar under the flat Texas sun, thinking trouble and being drawn to him in the same breath. Despite having seen him inside out, despite having been given every dark room and every cracked foundation, John Egan remains the most unknowable existence Gale has ever encountered. Ineffable and fathomless, the person most worth knowing Gale’s ever met, a lifetime is barely enough to begin.

The end of this chapter available only on Pillowfort because even the heavily edited pics caused the mature flag to appear and I am sick and tired of editing two pixel people expressing affection for each other only to see that they're considered unacceptable for general viewing even with massive covering of arms and backs. Sorry, but do take a peek if you're following this story. Major plot development.
