    Summary

    The figure crouches down, and it’s easier to see him now. His blue-gray eyes hold the beginnings of amusement, if that counts for anything. Said sunlight is making his red hair light up all golden-like. The name tag on his uniform reads “Winters” which is almost an irony. “You look a little worse for wear, soldier,” Winters says.

    It takes Lew a minute to find himself. “Yeah?” he answers finally. “Well, you look—”

    But however Winters looks, he is not to know. Rather than finish his sentence, Lew rolls over onto his side and loses that second half of his lunch. Puking is an activity he’s friendlier with than he’d like to be, he’s very familiar with the territory. It’s been a long time, however, since he’s had a hand on his back, patting him through the worst of it.

    Or Lew finds out what devotion really means in the shape of someone who could never return it

    Summary

    So it went, as summer ripened in full and began to give way to fall, or the closest thing the bayou could offer. Eugene’s eyes were faraway in church, farther still whenever a well-meaning friend showed up at the door to ask him how he’d liked Europe, how glad he was to be back. He flinched when a neighbor fired off a shot at a duck or a gator and woke up in harsh, grating sobs that Maud could hear through the wall in the night, that she thought might break her heart in two.

    And then, one day, he stepped through the door at dinner time, and he wasn’t alone.

    ——

    Or, Eugene’s mother tries to reacquaint herself with her son and anything that could help him heal—which might just include Babe Heffron.

    Summary

    Being the only girl in the Glade can be rough. You’ve worked hard to earn your place, but still, you fear making one wrong move will reverse all the respect the boys have for you. Typically you can handle yourself, but a prank gone wrong has landed you a challenge in the Ring against the strongest Glader, Gally. He isn’t going to go easy on you just because you’re a girl. This feud between the two of you seems to run deeper than just pranks for Gally. Why did he hate you so much?
