"Era molto più facile per lui non provare nulla per i ragazzi che scopava. Per quanto potesse sembrare spietato, in quel modo era più facile restare distaccati. La sua mente si spegneva e lasciava che il corpo compisse il suo dovere. I sogni a occhi aperti e il Viagra facevano il resto."

"Bran aveva il controllo di sé, di solito. Composto e sicuro della propria sessualità, di chi fosse e di chi volesse. Di recente, era diventato molto più facile non volere nessuno. Complicava solo le cose e creava diversi mal di testa, a lungo andare. In ogni caso, non poteva avere Evan: era troppo giovane e troppo ingenuo… Sapeva cosa volesse dire essere soli e delusi dalla vita e sperava che il ragazzo comprendesse in cosa si stava mettendo. Non poteva scegliere al posto suo, però; poteva solo fare il suo dovere e fidarsi che Evan avrebbe scelto la strada migliore per sé."
