    Summary

    “Theo, did you just— burn yourself?”

    Theo lifts his head slowly, giving a very unconvincing: “No.”

    Jenna laughs slightly, more to herself than Theo, “I have never once seen you burn yourself. I mean— you’ve cooked more gourmet meals in this kitchen than me and David combined.”

    Theo watches as the gears in Jenna’s brain start actually turning. Her simple constant smell of soup and petunias goes sour. Her shoulders drop slightly and her face falls loose, too devoid of emotion for Theo’s liking.

    “You did it on purpose.”

    Summary

    “Now I know you can put on a better show than that, Guy,” Jasper drawls out, breaking the silence. He clicks his tongue. “You’re letting the lady do all the work here.”

    “I don’t need your commentary, okay?” Guy huffs.

    “Ah, ah. This—” Doris pauses, thinking of Jasper’s annoying American expressions. “—is my way or the highway. Yeah?”

    “Yes, ma’am,” Jasper says, snorting out a laugh. “You’re really letting her yank you around by the leash, huh, kid?”

    Guy’s brow furrows and he opens his mouth to respond, but Doris beats him to it. “Jealous are we?”

    Summary

    “The plan?” Guy laughs, yanking his arm free. “Yeah, well, you weren’t part of it, man, trust me.”

    “No shit.” Jasper pushes himself to his feet. “You know I wouldn’t have even been there if not for you and her. Those scumbags wouldn’t have been able to grab me if I hadn’t been still recovering from being set on fucking fire.”

    “I’m not gonna apologize,” Guy snaps, scowling. “You brought that on yourself.”

    Summary

    “Who do we have here?”

    The lightbulb illuminating Guy’s mental room shatters with a sharp pop. His table is pulled away, his chair vanishes and the floor drops out from under him. He's plunged into darkness. He gasps, eyes still closed, attracting curious thoughts from passersbys and he hears their opinions and assumptions briefly in his head but he can’t focus on that, ‘cuz someone was in his head-

    who would’ve guessed that only a week of spy training wouldn’t be enough to prepare Guy of the possibility that he might get found out the moment he started? baffling.
