    Summary

    “You ask so many damn questions, I want you to know that,” Sebastian scoffs, angling away from the other man.

    “You ask them, then,” Jacob says. He’s utterly rooted in place by how the sharp lighting makes Sebastian’s eyes a blue so clear he could drink from them, his hair being cast into the brilliant golden glow.

    “Alright,” Sebastian hums, fingers tapping the neck of his cocktail glass. “Are you trying to take me home?”

    Jacob is struck speechless for a moment. He hadn’t expected to be called out for his intentions so brazenly, used to playing cat and mouse with those he was trying to court.

    “Yeah,” he says, having to swallow dryly to get the words to come out. “Yeah, I am.”

    Summary

    Over a decade of separation and longing. Distance makes the heart grow fonder, and tests how unconditional love can be between brothers.

    Some men see the Virgin Mary in their scrambled eggs and Christ in their coffee. Dean sees his brother in the credits of a random action flick. Ryland sees his face mirrored on a news segment about murder plots and suicide. Colt sees them all reflected in the night sky along Orion’s Belt, never knowing how close they’d come to touching the stars.

    Hail Mary, full of Grace.

    Summary

    Scruffy beard, glasses, hair in disarray. He's in a simple button-down and jeans, no place to hide any meaningful weapons, and faces away from Driver—exposes his vulnerable side, forgoes line of sight—to crouch in front of two boys who have been so silent he only now notices.

    “C'mere,” the man mutters. He hoists one of them up and into his arms. The boy rests his cheek on the man's shoulder with a quiet sniffle, eyes squeezed shut. His small hands wrap around the man's nape in a death grip. He has a SpongeBob-patterned bandaid on his nose bridge.

    The other boy grips onto the man's shirt hem with just as much vigor, though his eyes are wide open. He looks up at Driver with pointed eyes, clear and devastatingly full of suspicion.

    They look at each other for half a moment of contemplative quiet.

    Then, softly, “What floor?” Driver asks.

    The elevator door closes.

    or

    Driver moves to the new apartment. Instead of Irene, his neighbor is kind teacher Ryland Grace with two twin younger brothers he's taking care of.

    Summary

    Ryland Grace wakes up, goes to work, feels the rain on his face, teaches his students, cries over the galaxy, and dreams about a rock.

    Wait.

    What's that last one all about?

    There is a feeling in the back of his head like he's forgetting something. Is he forgetting something?

    Is he forgetting something again?
