    Summary

    “Have you been experiencing any other symptoms of anxiety?” 

    Doctors could probably quote their entire pamphlets on the condition from the inside of Robert’s brain — restlessness, racing heartbeat, the uncontrollable thoughts in his head that keep him up at night; he’s ticking all the boxes. 

    A therapist’s field day. His own worst nightmare. 

    “One or two, I suppose,” he agrees.

    Summary

    Robert’s not convinced he even has a set direction in mind, until he's practically falling into a seated position at the bus stop and letting his trembling fingers trace the intricate carved loops of Liv's name on the memorial plaque that's on the bench there.

    He presses his thumb into the engraving until there's a red indentation left behind on his skin, but it doesn't hurt as much as he wishes it would.

    .

    Robert grieves, and remembers, in all of the missing moments from the anniversary of Liv’s death last week.

    Summary

    "Maddie." Eddie’s fear matches her own when they meet each other’s eyes again. “You gotta get out. We don’t have time…”

    “I’m not leaving you.”

    “What about Jee, Maddie?” Eddie grabs it like the steel frame in his side and jams it straight through her heart. “Who’d you rather leave? Me or her?”

    For a moment, she thinks of how simple it would be. How badly she wants to get out. To remove the danger, to remove the possibility of leaving Jee, again, of leaving Chimney again. She could get out of the car. She could survive this.

    Some part of her wants to, so bad, but she’s staring at Eddie, and thinking of Buck’s shaking hands after he got shot, thinking of Eddie spinning Christopher at the fire station, thinking of all the things this world has to lose if it loses Eddie Diaz. Thinking of all the things her brother would lose.

    Thinking of all the things she would lose.

    OR

    Eddie and Maddie end up in an impossible situation.

    Summary

    Aaron is starting to get worried. Robert never responded to his text. He read it almost immediately but then nothing.

    He’s not come back to the village yet either. He’s been gone for hours, even if he was away out somewhere for the day he should be getting back about now. It’s almost 7pm and he left with that guy around 10am that’s 9 hours unaccounted for, 8 of which he’s left Aaron on read. Which has literally never happened before.

     

    OR
    Kev finds out about Robert and Aaron from a badly timed text. This does not end well for Robert
