Author's Note: There will be one more story after this in what we seem to be calling the Boston arc (and really needs a proper name) in chitchat. This arc will have two sequel arcs, each set in different cities. Thanks to lindensphinx, for pointing me towards the poem referenced in the story, and tsarina, who had to read about twenty different drafts of Blaine's bucket of fail; neither of them are even in this fandom. The title is adapted from a line in Elizabeth Bishop's The Map.
This continues from:
Following Home | These Thousand Names for Gratitude | All the Honesty of Politics | Circles as the Dark Winds Down | The Distance Between Ohio and Boston | All the Pretty Little Horses | Languages You Don't Even Know | Fauna and Flora | Where Water Doesn't Speak

( Four days before Blaine's flight, Kurt buys him a bracelet. )
