Meeting his soulmate had always felt like such an impossible thing. There were billions of people on earth, how was he supposed to randomly meet the one?

    Or;

    Summary

    "You cannot murder anyone," says Maddie. "Also, if you were going to murder your captain, it would be very stupid to write murder down as your top idea for how to deal with him."

    "It's on a dry erase board!" Chim protests. So far, all he's written on the board is Ways to Deal with Capt Gerrasshole, and then 1. Murder? below it. "And I put a question mark. So even if I didn't erase it, the jury would never convict. A question mark introduces reasonable doubt."

    Maddie rolls her eyes with a fond smile. "I assume there would be other evidence."

    "I would never be so sloppy."

    "Again, this would be more convincing if you hadn't immediately written murder right at the top of your list."

    Summary

    "Did I tell you about Diaz?"

    Buck takes a sip of wine to hide his smile. If anyone had bet on which Buckley sibling would become a librarian and which would become a firefighter, Buck is pretty sure they would have lost their money. But he's happy where he is, and there's something he loves about Maddie as a firefighter. She talks like the guys he lived with after Peru, coworkers referred to by nothing but last names and embarrassing nicknames, and it's kind of perfect, honestly. He hasn't talked to his mom since Maddie enrolled in the academy, but he assumes steam comes out of her ears whenever she thinks about it.

    "He's the other probie, right?" Buck asks. Diaz and Maddie went through training together, so the name is more familiar than the others. She was glad to get assigned to the same station as him.

    "Yeah. I think he could use someone like Carla, he's having some trouble."

    Buck is a librarian, Maddie is a firefighter, and Eddie is grateful that Buck has an afterschool program that Christopher is excited about.

    Summary

    Here's what Evan believes: if someone can do something that other people can't, if they offer some unique and special service to the world, they should do that. They have an obligation to use whatever skills they have, ideally to help people. It's just the right thing to do.

    And the one thing that Evan can do that almost no one else can is see ghosts.

    (The 118 are on a ghost-hunting TV show. Buck's the only one who knows ghosts are real.)
