This is growing up. Sometimes it hurts, but you clench your teeth and grin and bear it and don't think about tomorrow.

( It's hot today, must be in the nineties, maybe, and it's not even noon yet. John's got his shirt off, got it tucked into the back of his cut-offs in case he needs it later, doesn't want to have to go back to the motel room and risk waking Rodney. )
