Summary
Ed's tattoos have stories to tell.
----
“Now, close your eyes. Try not to think about anything.”
Stede wonders what kind of game this is, exactly. Ed’s skin is warm as ever under his hand and it’s silly, but he fancies he can feel the small crosses and pin-prick stars as warmer still, heating up against his palm.
The pulse in Ed’s thumb beats in time with the pulse in Stede’s wrist.
Ed starts to hum. It’s a low rumble, gently swooping between deep tones; the design under Stede’s hand gets hotter and hotter. It feels red and sharp. Stede feels the vibration of Ed’s humming inside him as though it’s coming from his own chest.
Stede’s eyes are closed but he sees—feels—knows the room around him is receding. The walls are rushing away. The gentle rocking isn’t the Revenge riding the ocean swell, but their bed floating amongst waves. He can smell a sharp sting of salt and feel a biting wind on his cheeks.
Ed speaks, but the humming doesn’t stop. “Can you see it?”
He can.

Summary
"So what brings you out here anyway?"
Ed's out of the blue question at least answers Stede's anxieties about radio etiquette. He pulls the walkie from his pack and stares at it, deciding how much of his life he actually wants to share with this complete stranger.
"What brings you out here?"
or: Stede takes a job as a remote forest fire lookout in the summer following his divorce, with a plan to find out who he is, and what he wants his life to be. With the help of the enigmatic lookout on the other side of the forest, he ends up getting more out of the experience than he could ever have hoped.

Summary
Ed can’t stop thinking about Stede’s question as he hangs up the phone: how are we going to stay friends?
Ed had answered honest. I guess we’ll do what we always do. You can call if you miss me.
Before the line has been dead for a few seconds, the phone in his hand starts ringing. “Um,” Ed says, “didn’t we just say goodbye?”
And even though Stede is somewhere else entirely, Ed can hear the smile in his voice as he answers like it’s the most obvious thing in the world: “I missed you.”
—
OR
A series of phone calls as Stede and Ed go from childhood friends, to adults who can't connect, to something more.

Beautiful, occasionally heartbreaking, and absolutely lovely.
