When Kris was little, the TV screen was the size of the world.
Its light glowed strangely through the kicked-up rubber soles of December’s combat boots on the coffee table, shining blue over the metal eyelets. In that moment, she looked like she should’ve been on the other side of the screen.
Kris watches music videos with December and thinks about clothing, identity, and freedom.

Summary
“You wanna party it up?” Casey half-joked, swishing the Brew Dude bottle in her hand.
“It’s dumb when you put it like that,” Link complained, although ‘embarrassing’ was probably the better word. He was 19 years old; drinking pale ales and playing cribbage with his dad’s aunt probably wasn’t the most exciting way he could be spending his Saturday nights in a new city.
After moving north for college, Lincoln is having conflicted feelings about his dads—and his mom.

Summary
Lincoln sat up, too. Damn it. “Are you okay?”

Three nightmares, and three conversations Scary and Lincoln have after.

Summary
Terry would never admit it, but both she and Link had been feeling the empty nest syndrome hard since their last foster kids had gotten permanently adopted. Link couldn’t even remember the last time they hadn’t had any kids in the house. The silence was nice, but the way it threw off his routine was not.
A part of Lincoln missed having kids of his own—the same part that had since he was sixteen.
A few months before the Teen High reunion, a new student, Jerry, joins Coach Lincoln's soccer team.
