Summary
As he pushes himself up from his desk — already mourning the crinkled and drool-dotted page that was acting as a draft for his newest short story before it became his impromptu pillow — he realizes there’s a phantom ache, stinging through his left arm.
He doesn’t bother looking down, for Todd knows exactly what he’ll see. Despite the years, the letters have never gone away completely, only faded, and Todd prefers not to see them if he doesn’t have to.
So, he ignores the twinge of his arm, and instead directs his bleary eyes to the calendar on the corner of his desk.
December 15th, 1969.
Oh. That must be why his arm hurts. It’s certainly why he was up late working.
AKA everyone has a mark on their arm with the words their soulmate will say when they fall in love. Todd's still hasn't faded, even on the tenth anniversary of his soulmate's death.

Summary
Todd didn't have a lot of hate in his heart, but he would be the first to say that he hated his family. If it were up to him, he wouldn't have gone to dinner. But his parents never said no to Jeffrey. How could they say no to the golden child, after all?
The weekend went horribly, as Todd expected, but now that he was back at Welton, he just wanted to put it all behind him. It didn't matter because he was back home with his real family, the poets.
or
Todd comes back to Welton from a weekend with his parents wearing a sweater even though it's warm. The other poets notice.
