Summary
It’s as close as he can get to asking. The way Lawrence’s eyebrow twitches, he can tell that it’s as close as he’ll be allowed to get.
“Work has been hectic,” he replies, but the beat that comes before it is his tell. Adam knows he isn’t being told the full truth. It’s second nature, he thinks, for Lawrence to lie, and he’s good at it. Adam’s already rewriting his reality into one where he believes what he’s being told at face value. “Besides,” Lawrence continues, “you’re chipper enough for the both of us.”

Summary
The air inside his bedroom smells dank, like water that’s been left standing for long enough to go stale and filmy at the top. He can feel eyes on his back, can hear wheezing breath if he listens hard enough, but he won’t look until he absolutely has to, until there’s nowhere else to look.
He’s gotten very good at pretending that it isn’t happening.

Summary
One of the major dilemmas when dealing with being an amputee but not quite being used to it yet is that one needs to completely relearn basic motor functions. One of the major dilemmas of having seen a ghost is the desperate need to get away from it the very second it’s socially acceptable to.

Summary
Eyes shine up at him out of the darkness, and he withdraws his hand from the lamp, pulling himself up to lean against his headboard. The smell of standing water fills his nose, fills his room, and he lets his hands come to rest, palm-up, against his thighs.
