At first, no one knew what to do, and it seemed like we changed direction every few hours. Could we still go to work, as long as we kept our distance, or should we stay home? Should we stay three feet apart, or six? Should we wear masks, or were we okay to go without them?
Now, we’ve gone for almost a month hardly ever leaving the apartment, and the last time we went out for more than a quick errand was the day we helped Gus pack his things and move out of his dorm at NYU mid-semester. And I’m still not sure anyone truly knows what to do. But we’re all doing the best we can. For right now, that’s all we can do.

Brian, Justin, and Gus quarantine together in New York, trying to stay grounded amid the chaos and uncertainty.

It’s funny how life works sometimes -- in cycles, repeating the same themes in different ways with different situations. Leaving it up to us to recognize a familiar situation and call on our past experience to get through it. But sometimes you can’t see the forest for the trees.

I was in Atlanta when I first started noticing the strange, intermittent numbness and tingling in the fingers of my right hand. I was finishing up some paperwork, and I was having a hard time holding onto the pen, though at the time I thought it was just because I couldn't feel my fingers in the way that I was used to. I knew I'd been pushing myself too hard, spending too much time working on my laptop and not enough time doing yoga, so I thought it was probably just stress. I needed a break, although I wasn't sure when I was going to get one, because I was only scheduled to have two days at home before I had to leave again to travel to Dallas.

Some Months after Episode 513…
This story is my simple tribute to the anniversary of Randy Harrison’s birthday, and mine, too, which happen to be on the same day.
A thank you once again to my dear friend and beta, Predec2, for working on this story, and for the affection, support and encouragement she has given me during difficult times. Thank you, my dear friend.

He smiles at me when he sees me at the baggage claim, says nothing before he kisses me; he’s still kissing me when the obnoxious sirens start clanging and the suitcases start tumbling onto the belt. He can kiss me and watch for his luggage at the same time. He knows how to multi-task.
