    Summary

    this was what they meant, he thought, in the haftarot of consolation, behold I will set your stones with carbuncle, and I will lay your foundations with sapphires, the foundations of his soul had been cleared out and replaced with glittering stones and he felt— free, unencumbered, like nothing and nobody could hurt him, not ever again.

    Summary

    Robby frowned and looked at Jack. "Is it me or are you now off Monday through Thursday?"

    "Yeah, I figure we can drive out Tuesday morning and come back in time for my shift Friday night."

    Robby's eyebrows rose in surprise. "Did someone invite you to the cabin I rented?" Jack tilted his head and just looked at Robby, silent and expectant. After a long moment, Robby huffed a resigned laugh, like he wondered why he even bothered protesting. "Jack, would you like to come hiking with me?"

    Summary

    'There was no formal arrangement, nothing that could easily be defined as any recognizable brand of relationship. But Jack learned in the army that sometimes you needed someone to hold. To remind you that you’re human. That there’s someone who cares. Not that either of them would say anything mushy like that. It was basically a business transaction. Sleep in each other’s beds a couple nights a week and in exchange make it to the following week without going off the deep end. Business.'

    ...

    Dr. Abbot starts the day on the edge of the roof, and ends it talking his friend off the same ledge. In the process, he reflects on their strange relationship.
