Rewind, we're spending a minute at the very end of Lullaby Town here. Elvis, while on the phone with someone else, watches a beautiful woman watch Joe:
Like maybe when there are other people around, he doesn't feel like he can be the one closely watching his partner. But he can admire vicariously through a woman who's attracted to Joe, and by Elvis watching her attraction to Joe he can participate in his own, when in a public setting.
But when Cindy has left the kitchen and they're the only two left, now Elvis gets his turn to watch Joe directly:
The way that their feelings for each other can only be experienced through levels of abstraction makes me insane. I'm gonna blog more about this later but the way they literally cannot acknowledge or express these feelings—to each other or about each other to themselves—makes me go wild. Really the dynamic of all time.

I can't believe how many times I've read Lullaby Town, but this time a line caught me as uh... especially caring between the male leads. I've been telling anyone who'll listen that even the author knows these guys are in love for years and yet I missed this? Oh my god. I'm disappointed in myself.
