    Summary

    Is Sparrow fucking kidding him? Grant squints his eyes. He could fucking punch Sparrow right now. Legitimately take him down. If he wasn’t strapped with an IV and a nasal cannula and a scratchy hospital blanket he would absolutely smother his friend. His mouth and heart do something stupid. He chuckles. It doesn’t feel real. It’s something broken and miserable and completely disbelieving.

    He shuts his eyes and feels another round of tears, but they’re not as bad as the ones before. These are confused and out of his body. He tried to kill himself and Sparrow is making puns. It’s so jarring that he’s ripped out of space and time. He’s in a hospital bed and he’s alive and Sparrow is making fucking stupid puns.

    After Sparrow saves Grant's life, Grant has to slowly learn how to be alive.

    Summary

    “So what you have told me is you live alone in a rented studio, with no permanent income, no social support network and that you were out of Taylor’s life for nearly 3 years while you were ‘finding yourself’. You have never paid child support even though he lives with his mother, who is in permanent work with a long term partner in a home she owns outright. We haven’t even looked at any criminal history or drug use- I know it’s legal now, but have you ever done it around Taylor? That’s what I thought. If I was a family lawyer- and I definitely am not- I would want to be paid upfront, because this would be over very quickly.”

     

    Nick's life was not going exactly to plan, despite his "best" efforts. When his ex-wife Cassandra gets in to a new relationship, she throws another spanner in to works already pretty full of spanners.

    Out of other ideas and other options, Nick is forced to consider an offer from some old friends he would rather not have spoken to at all. In order to maintain his family, he's going to have to move past some old grudges and let some people in.
