Excerpts
Roland shakes his head, the blindfold pulling in his long hair without in any way slackening. “I’m not sure.”
“Guess anyway,” Mike suggests.
He shakes his head again, more in confusion than refusal. It’s not a bad confusion, but he’s starting to lose the urge to think. That touch, the way he’s tied, have soothed him into a floaty, disembodied feeling. He almost forgets he’s there. Except where they prod him, question him, reminding. He relies on them to map him out, and they feel more real than he is.
“Guess.”
The word in that cheerful singsong is no hint. It comes from the speaker sitting above his head, between his outstretched arms. Marisol.

“I mean, it feels personal. I’m not sure if it is. Which is weird, right? Not that I don’t enjoy your company,” she added. “I like hanging out with guys. But women, too…”
Roland nodded. “Would you like to get a drink?”
“Sure.” Marisol smiled, but five minutes later she was frowning into her beer. “It’s just a guessing game, I guess.” A grimace at the echo. “But how did I get to be twenty-seven without knowing if I’m lesbian or straight?”
“There are other options,” Roland said.
She looked at him across the table. “Yeah. And it’s even more of a guessing game how people will react if you bring that up.”
“Well.” He tipped his glass toward her. “My boyfriend, my girlfriend, and I all fall on the continuum.”
Her eyes widened. Then her mouth did, showing teeth in a grin. “You have both?”
“They have me.” Maybe it was the beer, maybe it was the brightness of her smile and what it did to his heart jumping in his chest, but Roland decided to go all in. He pushed back his shirt sleeves and raised his wrists to show her.
