Koen is staring, too. I clear my throat. Cross my arms over my chest. “What just happened?” “Not much.” His voice is rough edged. He swallows. It takes him a bit of time and a lot of effort to lift his eyes to mine. “Sometimes, when the block is mental, it can help. Being guided.”…

But there’s something I need to know, and I decide not to hem and haw over it. “You and Koen . . . ?” “Yup.” Light on her feet, she moves closer. We start circling each other. “Cool.” She throws a jab at my torso. I hop back and dodge it. For some reason, my…

ILOST FAIR AND SQUARE, SO I FOLLOW KOEN OUT AND KEEP MY mouth shut, gingerly moving my bruised, achy body. Any half-decent guy would solicitously ask whether I’m okay, but that’s clearly not him. He walks ahead, ignoring me, and when he comes to a sudden halt, I nearly bump into his back. On the…

Does it mean that we’ll have different outcomes, too?” “Outcomes? Of what?” “Just . . . different challenges. Or issues.” She won’t have a terminal diagnosis at twenty-five,…
