Summary
‘You were always the one.’
Yeah, Miles had thought it was a good idea at the time. Turns out the problem with death bed confessions of passion to your ex - or to your long-standing never-actually-was - is that sometimes it turns out you’re not on your death bed. Bloody nanites.
Now Rachel kept looking at him like he was on a promise - all sidelong smiles and touches and murmurs about ‘as soon as we’re alone’. Admiral Nelson never had to deal with this.

Summary
It could be worse.
Bass darted down the length of the boxcar, the vibration of the engines against the soles of his boots. A bloody sword in one hand and Charlie’s small, cold fingers squeezing the other. If he had to be handcuffed to anyone, at least he worked well with her. She moved with him, easily falling into mirroring his body language. Watching his back.
It was like having Miles there, only smelling better.

Summary
Reality was in negotiation. It was a shared delusion, ghosts from the past made solid by their minds, that herded them through the mountain pass. Charlie stepped away from a nanite-shadow wearing Danny’s skin, bumping into Bass’ arm.

Summary
The boy - man, he’d been older than Charlie, but she’d fallen into the habit of thinking of him as a child - died a month before they got there. Two months after Miles told Bass where his son was. His grave was a bare patch of raw dirt with a roughly carved marker. It didn’t say Monroe on it.

Summary
Axe handles were no respecters of sword calluses. Bass leaned against the wagon, picking at fresh blisters while his ‘boss’ negotiated the lumber sale inside. Autumn had given up the ghost, along with the last of the leaves, in the last few days. It hadn’t snowed yet, but it was cold enough that Bass’ breath steamed and water had to cracked in its bowl in the morning. Despite his best intentions Bass couldn’t help but look the town over, picking out the weak spots he’d take advantage of or shore up. Depending on what side he was on.
