Infrared

            If Angelo could describe the way he sees the world, he might say it is like infrared vision. Everything goes by him in a grey, nebulous swirl, until a human enters the field of his feelings. Then the world lights up in shades of emotion and intention. Some people hurt to be near. Not Jarod. Never Jarod. Though Angelo often feels his pain, it is good to be able to bear it. Jarod’s emotions are good ones, even the painful ones. They have a shade of gentleness to them Angelo has felt from no one else since Catherine Parker died.
