"It was a mistake, forget about it." He knew the situation was clearly escalating past comfortability. He should've given a fake name. "I said forget about it!" He'd made it worse. Whatever he thought his own charm was going to accomplish made it worse in the attempt. By coming he'd only hurt the possibility of whatever type of friendship would be salvageable after this. He could feel himself shutting down, stripped down. Dozens of ideas rushing through his head, all of them half-truths missing the mark that he didn't know what he was doing standing here. Only making her angrier.

"How about a month? The entire Summer?" Probably the wrong thought. Still, there was a good chance that Gael found someone by September. The pipe dream of a group dinner he could push back indefinitely. He could take all the transfers he wanted from Hudson Valley and at the end pretend he was too tired to do anything. Skip Tarrytown Pride and avoid seeing him completely that way. By September Gael could completely forget about him

"I am. Thanks." The lakes were small enough even he didn't think he could swim back across without running into Gael. In seal form would Gael even recognize him swimming? Eric had always thought of their transformations as being similar. Less to think about.
