There were so many rainbows it made him nervous。
?PFLAG; my darling; stands for ?Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays??? Jeanette began。
?And it?s a party?to celebrate your ing out。? Vanessa appeared at Jeanette?s side; holding a
ballpark frank festively slathered in mustard in one hand and a small digital video camera in the
other。 She was wearing a black tank top with the words HE?S MY GAY BOYFRIEND printed on
it in hot pink lettering。 ?Happy Gay Day!? she called out from behind the camera。
For a second; Dan couldn?t help feeling a little touched at how supportive she was being。 Maybe
they could be like Harper Lee and Truman Capote?he?d be the gay; brilliant star of the New York
literary scene; and she could be his grounding; stabilizing force and literary muse; all rolled up
into one cute; bald…headed package。 Then he remembered where he was?apparently at his
ownsurprise ing…out party。 He tried to focus。
?I thought I?d video your journey into gaydom;? Vanessa told him with a smirk。 ?Your mom
thought it was anexcellent idea。? ?e with me; Daniel。? Jeanette pulled him toward the kitchen。
She handed him a glass of bright pink liquid。 ?I know I?ve missed a lot of things in the last couple
years。 I wanted to do something special for you right now。? Couple? Tryten 。 。 。
Dan stopped walking and stared at his mother?s not…entirely…familiar face。 The truth was; he?d
gotten used to her being away a long time ago; but he?d always felt especially bad for Jenny;
growing up without a mom and all。
?But really; teenagers all just hate their parents anyway; so I?m sure it wasn?t much of a problem。?
Jeanette sniffed dramatically。 ?And this summer; I was really able to reconnect with Jennifer when
she was in Prague;? she went on; her voice warbling as though she were about to cry。 ?And then
when this opportunity to support you came up?well; it just seemed like the right time for a visit。?
Dan nodded; not sure what to say。 It made him happy that things were right between Jenny and
their mother; but did that really mean she had to fly to New York and ruin his life? ?Well; um;
thanks;? he finally stammered。
?Now!? Jeanette blinked her eyes rapidly and grabbed his hand。 ?Your darling boyfriend was just
teaching me how to make Cosmopolitans!? Dan frowned。 Boyfriend? He looked across the room
and was shocked to see Greg at the kitchen counter wearing a pair of brown American Apparel
cargo pants rolled just past the knees; rainbow suspenders; and a crisp white T…shirt; vigorously
shaking a chrome cocktail shaker; his glasses sliding down the bridge of his nose。 Dan lifted a
hand in a tentative wave; trying to look cheerful; and walked over with his mother at his heels。
?Hey!? Greg grinned widely as he approached; putting down the martini shaker。 He opened his
arms to give Dan a hug; his shaggy blond hair falling into his eyes。 ?Sorry I didn?t tell you I was
