    Summary

    Set post S4 finale. A death in the family shakes the Strands, and Carlos is left to pick up the pieces. He's thrust- reluctantly- into being a caregiver. What does this mean for him? His marriage? His future?

    ~*~

    There is a beat where he looks like he does not know how to respond. Perhaps he literally cannot. But eventually he finds his voice. “It’s still under investigation. Police aren’t inclined to share details with me.”

    “So…” Carlos shakes his head. He knows where this is going to lead, but doesn’t want to believe it. “Is- Is he okay?”

    “No, Carlos. He died two nights ago.”
