Summary
His mother blinked slowly. "I never should have answered the phone."
That didn't make sense, because their phone had been ringing off the hook all week and his mother was always the one to answer.
"I knew it was going to be bad," she said softly, slowly, almost like she was talking in her sleep. "I had the most horrible feeling in my gut when the phone rang. I've felt it before—I knew what it was. I should've just let the answering machine take it. I never should have picked up."
More than two decades later, when Buck's phone starts vibrating as he's ruining the lamination of another batch of would-be croissants, he understands what his mother had meant that day.
Every atom in his body is straining toward the phone, but he can't unlock his hands from the death grip they have on the rolling pin in order to reach for it.
Incoming call: T. Kinard

Summary
Sometimes Buck can't believe they're here. They'd been a few months into their second try at a relationship when Tommy had seen something on his computer he shouldn't have. Buck had been sure that would be it, Tommy would turn him in and be done.
But instead, Tommy had turned to him and said, "Can I help?"
Now they're married and partners in crime. Literally.
Or: Buck and Tommy go after predators and other killers, but when they discover someone might be after them, they try to go on the offense.

Summary
Tommy Kinard had arrived at the apartment expecting to just drop off the box of things he’d found while packing up to move. He had arrived expecting Abby to snatch the box, maybe say something deservedly nasty, and slam the door in his face.
What he had not been expecting was Evan Buckley.
