It's all so quintessentially him: sparse furniture other than floor-to-ceiling shelves packed with books. Elliot watches me as I lean against the hallway wall. The space is tiny, and he seems to fill it with his height and the solid width of his chest. “I don't know if I could handle only having a bathtub,” I babble. “I call it a shath,” he says. “That sounds dirty.”
