Why This Must Be Read: While waiting out the addiction during The Light, Jack and Daniel have "the" conversation. It's one of those afternoons in which everything changes once everything is said out loud. Both character voices are perfectly spot on -- Daniel's academic curiosity and bluntness and Jack's pragmatism. Their emotional honesty and intimacy ends up being even more powerful than their physical connection. It's a gorgeous portrait of their relationship.
Excerpt:
"Do you want me, Jack? Sexually?"
"You know I do."
"Do you know that I want you back?"
Jack was silent for a moment. "Now I do."
"You really didn't?"
"Thought so sometimes. Wasn't sure. Never saw any reason you should."
"Is that supposed to be self-deprecating or do you mean that I present as very straight?"
"It means I never see what anyone sees in me, and it means I haven't done a whole lot to endear myself to you over the years. Not as much as I'd have liked to." He skipped another stone. Seven hops. "As far as assessing your sexual preferences, insufficient data." He lifted another stone, and then closed his hand around it and looked at Daniel for the first time since they came out here. "I'm not interested in a quick fuck to relieve the sexual tension. If you have any intention of offering something like that, save your breath."
