“I don’t think he appreciates miracles.” She grins.

Norman shrugs at the remark, lifting his gaze to gift her a small smile in turn. “Ray doesn’t believe in a lot of things, but that’s why having his faith is powerful. If Ray can believe in something, then it’s not impossible.”

“Sounds like Ray’s got superpowers.”

Chapter three

Late Summer, 2019

Matteo groans as he opens his eyes, lids sticking together because it’s still far too early to be awake on one of the last few days of summer freedom.  He’s not even sure why he’s awake, unless it’s the same restless thing that hasn’t been letting him have any peace since he got on the plane back from Italy. He can feel it in his chest, energy buzzing through him with no real outlet because it’s an energy that has no ending.  It’s an energy that is doomed to fizzle and die as soon as school starts again in a few days, and in the meantime it’s unsettled, roaming through various issues Matteo would rather keep pushed down and ignored.

Before he can continue in his rather maudlin line of thought, something thumps Matteo in the shins, and he winces with a soft murmur of pain.

“It wasn’t even that hard,” a voice says, warm amusement in its tone, and Matteo shivers as the events of the night return to him.

Once they’d escaped the pool, he and David had run to Matteo’s home, which was closest, wet clothes flapping around their legs, and the warmth of the evening well and truly lost in the chilled breeze that pursued them.  By the time they’d got to his house, the two of them had been shivering.

“I’d better head off, then,” David had said, his lips almost blue in the yellow light spilling out from the buildings around them.  He was shuddering, his arms wrapped around his upper body, and he looked miserable.

Matteo hadn’t been able to resist, offering a shower and a change of clothes before he went home.  From there, it had taken very little to end up sleeping on the same bed due to exhaustion and a lack of desire to move anywhere.

So that all means he’s here now, in the morning, with David’s warm presence behind him in his bed.  Matteo’s too scared to turn around and look at him, because he’s even less sure of his own reactions.  The heat of the night is gone, the day hasn’t warmed up yet, and in the coolish air of the early morning, the feelings Matteo’s been trying to repress are more easily held tight to his chest than they had been in the helpless recklessness of the heated evening.
