So, they move to New York.

At the time, it feels much more complicated than that. At the time, they spend dinner talking about what it really means to move, to live together, and how long the train ride is, and how light you have to pack. And the expense, and what it costs to get an apartment, and to furnish an apartment, since you can’t take your furniture with you.

At the time, they don’t have the big picture, which is that the two of them, together, are no longer alone. They don’t understand, in 1947, that the complexity and the details that fit around this fact are semantics.

So, it’s a fetish. Of course, it’s one he would have, Don thinks bitterly, that would be his luck.

He turns it over in his head, looking at it from every angle. He probably shouldn’t, but it’s like a loose tooth in his mouth, something he can’t stop drifting back to. There’s something magnetic about the idea of it. There’s a stirring, a waking excitement, an irritatingly physical response that denies him control.
