    Summary

    On a Thursday in April 1943 Remus took the train from London to Birmingham, where a stately black car was waiting at the station to take him a short drive southwest to Hagley. In a wood on the estate of the Viscount Cobham of Hagley Hall four local boys hunting quail had found a woman’s skeleton in a wych elm tree.

    Summary

    “I was going to ask how your vacation was, but I figure I might as well cut to the chase," Bobby says. "We hired a new lawyer, his name is Eddie Diaz and he’s going to be working in the new office next door. I’m reassigning you to work with him until he gets his bearings, maybe longer if everything works out.”

    “What do you mean you’re reassigning me?” Buck asks, his world crumbling around him at this new life-altering decree. “I’m your secretary.”

    *

    In which Buck cannot stand the new lawyer he's been assigned to at Grant-Nash Law Offices, no matter how brilliant and charming he seems to be, and Eddie is honestly just trying to get to the end of this day in one piece.

    Summary

    "You’re acting like you’re not going to have to miss me,” Buck says, pressing the bruise. “Like I’ll be able to come over whenever I want, crash at your place when I get too tired, like you’re not leaving the timezone.”

    “Yeah, well I’m trying to keep you in my life,” Eddie bites out, “and you’re acting like this is some kind of permanent goodbye.”

    “This is goodbye, Eddie,” Buck retorts, his jaw tense. “You’re leaving.”

    *

    In which Eddie is delusional, Buck is defeated, and they are both handling the move well.
