Billy pressed his nose into Teddy's neck, inhaling the slight smell of sweat and the fading hint of aftershave. "Do you think there's a universe where we never met?"

Turning in Teddy's embrace, Billy looked up at him. "And?"
"All signs point to yes."
Billy closed his eyes and grinned. "Magic eight balls are not magic."
"That you know."
