    Summary

    “No, I’m Jeremiah’s ex-wife.” She said, the words insane to her own ears. “I’m Jere’s ex-wife and I’m his brother’s girlfriend.”

    Summary

    When Conrad was young, his mother told him that someday, someone would make him feel fireworks.

    “When you do, Connie,” she’d said, “You hold them close. And you don’t let them go, no matter who tells you to.”

    “Is that what you did?” he’d asked.

    She’d smiled and smoothed his hair back behind his ear. “Not close enough.” Her eyes were kind. “But I know you won’t make the same mistake. You’re much braver than I am.”

    Just once, Conrad had seen his mother and Laurel dance around the kitchen in the summer house, long past the time when he was supposed to be asleep. He’d felt a flash of jealousy, watching them skip and swing and collapse into a puddle on the floor, laughing. Laurel had reached over and brushed a wayward strand of hair out of Susannah’s face. They breathed as though they were one, the set of each of their shoulders matching the other.

    He had looked away, feeling heat rise to his cheeks, and had run back up the stairs as quietly as he could. Like he’d seen something he wasn’t supposed to. Like he’d seen something he would understand far too well one day.

    (Or: Soulmates are a funny thing. Mirrors, too.)

    Summary

    The pact had been simple. One word, and they'd drop everything, meet where it all began.
    Conrad just never expected Belly to actually use it. Not after everything.

     

    (Belly thinks she got it wrong; Conrad is right where she left him)

    Summary

    “Okay, let’s try this,” Aaron says. “Tell me five things you can see.”

    “You,” Kevin says. It’s half a gasp. Aaron nods, raising one finger. It bolsters Kevin to see it, so he scrambles around for more. “The balcony. Riko. The French press. Your shitty sneakers.”

    Aaron, with four fingers raised, quietly says, “Riko’s not here, Kevin.”

    “What?” Kevin looks at him wildly. He blinks, trying to steady his gaze. Fuck. Okay. Yeah. Fuck. Aaron. He’s here with Aaron, which means Riko can’t be here, because they’ve never met. They belong to two different spheres of his life. “Uh. Your eyes.”

    “I don’t think you’re meant to say me for three out of your five objects,” Aaron says, but his ears are tinging pink again. Kevin is endlessly fascinated by it.

    Kevin Day makes a comeback.
