Summary
Jack never did go to parties all that often. Everyone knew why, but no one usually said anything. He was grateful for that, even if he could sometimes see on their faces the exact moment his past pushed its way to the front of their minds. Eventually, his absence was assumed as normal (or at least typical) and even the less sensitive people stopped bringing it up altogether.
Now, he had graduated and when he walked into the Haus on that Saturday night as an alumnus and a Falconer, he got more stares than ever. He was used to the stares, and these weren’t even as unfriendly as many of the ones he faced regularly — these were more curious than hostile. He didn’t even have to do his best to get quick reads on these people — so far, none had tried to talk to him. So why was he sweating?Late 2016, Jack goes to a Haus party to see Bitty and ends up catching up with everyone else, too.
