    Summary

    The last time di Genova and al-Kaysani met on the pitch, it infamously ended with a red card for al-Kaysani and a media firestorm for di Genova. “Will you be able to work together?”

    Al-Kaysani toys with the handle of his coffee cup. “We’re all professionals,” he says eventually. “I’m excited to see what he’ll bring to the pitch.”

    Or: Rival football players Joe al-Kaysani and Nicky di Genova learn to work together on the same team.

    Summary

    Venturing into the desert after runaway thesis students is, unfortunately, a normal part of Cyno's job. The same can't be said of Alhaitham, feeble scholar extraordinare, and yet he's here anyway. It's an addition Cyno doesn't need, no matter how helpful Alhaitham can be, but though the company's better than expected, the complications only get worse from there.

    Summary

    “I’m not perfect, okay? I’ve never claimed to be, but I try,” His voice broke, left in shambles as he continued. “I try so hard. I have given everyone everything they’ve ever asked of me and I never complained; not really! I could’ve left this town years ago and never looked back, but I didn’t. I stayed because I care about those kids, about Nancy and Robin and you.”

    “Steve,” Eddie started, “I didn’t-”

    “You didn’t what? Notice? Care? Nobody does!” Steve said, throwing his hands up, “I mean, do you how long it’s been since someone said they loved me? Even my parents can’t be bothered to say that shit! I have been waiting years for someone to notice that I"ve changed! That after everything I’ve been through, I’m still here! I’m not some idiot who peaked in high school!”

    Caught in the insufferable silence, all he could do was cry.

    ***

    Or Eddie thinks Steve's confession is a joke, and Steve realizes that nobody really thinks he's changed.
