    Summary

    “Hello? Yes, this is Trent Crimm, The Independent. I’ve got a bit of an emergency and need Coach Lasso’s mobile.” Trent paused, brow furrowing in irritation. “Well, his son is currently standing in my office, in my newspaper building, which is filled with bloodthirsty journos. Could you make an exception for that?"

    Summary

    Tessa and Shane were kids together, inseparable during the summers they spent together in the valley.

    Sixteen years later, Tessa returns and is surprised to find Shane living there with his young goddaughter, and carrying a whole lot of trauma.

    He’s not the same, scrawny boy anymore. Shane has become an abrasive, fractured husk of the boy she once knew, and he bristles any time she gets within ten feet of him.

    He wishes she would just leave him alone.

    Unfortunately for him, Tessa enjoys poking the bear.

    A story about healing through play, forgiveness, and falling stupidly in love with the only person who can still make you laugh.

    Summary

    A year ago, probably drunk out of his mind, James would have done something terrible, like launched himself over the counter and wailed on the fucking brat for speaking to him like that. That anger was still there. That shame. Disappointment and disgust and all those things he felt toward his son even though he wasn’t really sure why he felt that way. This year, though. This year, this month, this day, this fucking hour, James just grit his jaw, said, “Yeah, alright,” and walked away.

    OR: 5 times James Tartt Sr. saw his son light up around other people, and the 1 time he earned that privilege for himself.

    Summary

    Maybe this was a gift from God. He decided Dennis had done enough good and would let him get this small slice between Heaven and Earth before he joined the choir. If he prayed, really hard, maybe God would let him stay. Dennis squeezed his eyes closed to do just that. When he opened them again after his small prayer, Robby still sat in front of him. The hand on his chin had stayed.

    Dennis just wanted to get out of the heat from the apartment. How was he to know it was actually a cold that left him overheated and his walk ended at the Abbot-Robinavitch household?
