    Summary

    Through the office rumor mill Richie learns that Eddie has a mortgage on a house he doesn't live in, a frequently used membership in the gym on the fourth floor, and an ongoing divorce that keeps him tightly glued to his cell phone, constantly whispering, "We said we'd only talk via the mediator. No, Myra, only via the mediator," through gritted teeth, pacing in his office whenever Richie happens to pass by after his lunch break.

    Richie has a Playstation 3 that only works when leaned slightly to the side, propped up with a broken mug he made taking a drunken pottery class with Bev. So they're on slightly different life paths.

    Summary

    He thought he’d hidden these feelings from himself, stowed them away in some dark corner and learned not to think about it. But the second Eddie peeked in from around the corner at the Jade and looked at Richie with those big, limpid pools of Christmas Orphan meets Bambi, and started rambling about gluten and cashews, it all came flooding back into focus. Richie has loved Eddie so long that it’s become an ache that goes beyond reason.

    Summary

    The moment the words left his mouth, a heavy silence settled over the room. Everyone waited, maybe a long sigh or one of Bruce’s usual low, soft grunts. But nothing. Stillness. And then a sniffle… wait a minute, is he crying?

    or

    After a difficult week, it was just one final blow that pushed Bruce to his breaking point. But thankfully, even in his darkest moments, he wasn’t alone.

    Summary

    “Can I come in?” Eddie asks, teeth chattering.

    He’s soaked to the bone, a cornflower blue polo clinging to his small shoulders. It’s the only thing he’s wearing besides a pair of khakis that are also soaked through.

    Richie is suddenly very sober.

    “Eds?”

    or:

    Eddie leaves Myra and shows up at Richie's door.
