Summary
Bleeding in the car of his long-lost father’s wife, who has taken a shine to him, Shawn West reflects on what got him to this moment – and how things are not what they seem within the Buckley family.
Everything seemed cosmic to him in that moment, the sea swelling and crashing out when Adam grabbed his face and kissed him. They were on the Ferris wheel, and the Ferris wheel kept turning even as the world stopped.
But when they came down to Earth, and were all out of tokens to go around again, they found themselves surrounded by a familiar group of eight who still smelled of locker room and too much Calvin Klein Obsession body spray.
“If you can’t run, you have to fight,” his mother told him when he was thirteen and bloody-faced. Gently, she’d pressed a cold washcloth to his split lip while he sat on the edge of the bathtub, shivering from the shock of being punched. “But if you can run, always run. Run, run, run.”

Summary
“What am I supposed to do with him, Michelle? He set his kitchen on fire trying to boil water, but now you expect me to turn him into a restaurant worthy chef in six weeks?”
“Yes. That’s the premise of the show, is it not? You told the network you could turn the worst cook in America into a chef of your caliber within six weeks.” She points at TK trying to operate a pasta machine. “This kid is your challenge. If you can turn him into a chef, then you can probably turn water into wine as well.”

Summary
“My name is Tyler,” the guy says softly. “Tell me what you'd like to do tonight.”
It's still unspoken what's really going on here. Tyler licks his lips as he looks Carlos over again. It's simple, assessing look, yet so charged.
"I just want to talk." Carlos swallows. “You're very pretty." Too honest. Maybe he's also the one who needs help, for flirting with a sex worker he's trying to get enough evidence to arrest.
