I suspect there's a lot of starting over with Toby and Jonah. The awkwardness of their shared responsibility fascinates me. I'd love to throw in more of Jonah's wife as well, have a whole host of different problems there, but the story didn't need another 20 000 words.

Elliot's eyeballs are full. He doesn't want any more. He wants to go back to when things were simple, and all he had to worry about was his crisis of sexuality.
