Shivering lightly in the late-night breeze, he closed and locked the sliding glass door and grabbed one of the throws from the back of the couch. Carefully, he laid it across his father’s legs and brought it up over the man’s chest. His father merely grunted and slept on. With a heavy sigh, Spencer went up to his room and pulled out his new laptop. Memories from one of his last nights with David flooded his mind and made his pulse quicken. They were marred only marginally by his ex-boyfriend’s stupid view of Spencer’s deafness, but he could look past that and remember what being with David had felt like.

Bringing up his favorite Twitter app, he watched his timeline for a few minutes to see who else was up who could distract him from worrying about his father. He talked to people all over the world in a dozen different time zones. Having friends on Twitter was easier than having them in real life. He didn’t have to tell them he was deaf. He didn’t have to see the pity in their eyes. He could simply be Spencer, and that was okay. Talking to guys and flirting with them online was safe—it wasn’t like he’d ever see them. Sexting guys over Twitter had turned into his escape.
