Pre-reading reaction: I TOTALLY FORGOT THIS IS UP TODAY YAY GOTTA READ IT NOWNOWNOWNOW
Post-reading reaction: That was so, so good, as always! So many sweet and lovely parts, and it's still so heartbreaking but in a wonderful way. This really is an amazing series.
And a few of the parts that I really loved:
Noah stopped for one moment, taking in Luke’s face, staring into his eyes; then before Luke knew what was happening, Noah was hugging him. Touching his hands to Luke’s head, stroking, muttering into his ear comforting words. It was unexpected and Luke let his body sink for a minute, relishing the warmth of another body, of Noah.
Sooo sweet.
Noah sighed, stuffing both hands in his pockets. His eyes always so haunted, gave a new light, something rarely seen there. “I can’t, Luke. I can’t touch you.” He ducked his head away, missing the hurt in Luke’s eyes. He sighed into the breeze, head bending down further. “I want…to. So, I can’t.”
Luke let out a small “Oh,” at the honesty, while his insides turned into mush, legs trembling. Noah wanted to touch him. It was not what he expected and he fought the urge to grab for him. “I…okay.”
