    Summary

    He has so many things now, broken things, little things, things that people might miss but that they will probably assume are long gone or forget about in time. Every single one has a memory attached to it for Cody, every little pebble, every broken toy, every ripped or stained piece of brightly coloured fabric that he mends with the thread he is given to keep his blacks going for as long as he can.

    Outside of his quarters Cody is the model of a marshal commander in the GAR; calm, collected, highly competent and in possession of a strategic mind to be envied. In his own space, however, Cody keeps a small collection of mementos from the planets he visits.

    Summary

    Carter’s not sure exactly when he first learned about the patented Peter Benton Dating Algorithm, but it must have been early on, because he internalised it like it was any other scrap of information he’d gleaned and hoarded like a crazy person, like his GPA (3.8), his birthday (September 9th) or his blood type (B positive).

    Summary

    If he focuses on it—if he can draw his mind away from Carter rubbing along every intimate part of him—Benton can feel himself starting to strain, taking offense to the fact that he is neglecting a very prominent, very untouched part of himself.

    It would be so simple to pace himself with Carter’s rhythm, to push back down on him, to alight himself with the pressure he is used to, to finally, finally move.

    But Benton doesn’t have to do anything, here and now. So he doesn’t.

    Summary

    "Tell me something that brings you comfort."

    "Something that brings me comfort?" Robby shot back, his tone mocking the frivolity of it, because he never was one to just follow directions.

    "Yes," Gene said, eternally unfazed. "It can be the smallest thing, whatever comes to mind."

    What came to mind was: Pens games, the trails at Frick Park, the rare book collection in the Oliver Room at Carnegie Main, a cortado at Sage Caffe. But what he said was: "Jack."

    ...wait. Shit.

    Summary

    The first thing Dennis hears every morning is the sound of the grease trap hissing in the shop below, then feels his four-year-old son wriggling deeper into his ribs, like he wants to crawl back into Dennis’ shriveled old sack of a uterus.

    He’s not sure which one wakes him first.

    (Or, Whitaker is a struggling single dad, an MS4 who is about to graduate and crushing on two old men).
