    Summary

    She catches sight of Hop first, of course. He’s who she’s looking for after all; or, perhaps more accurately, she will think later, he’s the only one she thinks she’s supposed to be looking for in this moment. The way Robin Buckley had talked about what had happened beneath Starcourt that night — well, it had all just seemed so final, she’d thought, and truly she’s never been so happy to be wrong in her life.

    Meanwhile, in the Soviet Union, Joyce finds not one ghost but two.

    Summary

    The first time Robin noticed it, Steve was helping a customer at Family Video.
    He was in the middle of a sentence, i the middle of a transaction behind the register when his eyes drifted up towards the ceiling and his voice trailed off. His jaw shifted around and he chewed on his tongue.
    It was like he was completely vacant.
    It lasted a few seconds, and he snapped back in, finishing his sentence and continuing the transaction like nothing happened.

    Summary

    “Oh,” Steve says. Then again, “oh,” a little quieter. His expression changes; from confusion to something pained almost. “Mr Munson, I don’t…” he takes a deep breath, his voice a little shaky as he continues. “I don’t think he…I don’t think he likes me like that.”

    He doesn’t say “it’s not like that.” Neither does he say “I’m not like that.”

    That’s the first thing Wayne notices.

    Steve’s knee is pounding. “Truce?” he offers.

    “Sure. I prefer my fights fair and square anyway.”

    “The hell is that supposed to mean?”

    “The hell do you think? Look down, princess — I’m pretty sure human knees aren’t supposed to look like that.”

    Summary

    "Hey, Steve?" Will cut in, after praying his heart slows down: it was about to jump out of his chest, taking his secret with it where everyone can see. And he wants people to see, but it's not for everyone's eyes. He will take out his heart and show it, all of it, to whom he chooses. Then they will see, and they will know. Adorned with scars and bruises they've gazed upon already, be it by choice or not, but one bruise — one scar, one vein that gives him life — lies unseen by most. So he will turn his heart in their hands, until his Ambrosia and Nectar faces them. And they will know.

    "Yeah? What's up?" Steve replied frowning, understandably worried: someone losing hope and giving up in the homestretch is the worst possible situation. Good thing Will wasn't meant to come along, right?

    "I've been talking to Robin," he starts, "and she said you've been a really good friend to her, especially about.. certain things. And, y'know, I didn't expect you to. Not that you seem like the type of guy to-" he took a quick breath and started again, slower, tuned his heart and let it speak. "What I'm trying to say is: I like boys."
