Summary
“Was there water?” Ambrose asks.
“It is the desert, Ambrose” Paddy says gently and he is supposed to be the mad one, the one who has to be gentled down from delusion and insanity like a child, not Ambrose, never Ambrose “There was no water around for miles”
Of all the things to be asking after…
“It rained” Paddy says at last, “Monsoon rain, biblical, washed away the landscape entire. By the time I had a mind to go and look for him again everything had changed and there was no way to find him. I did look. I did look for him. I swear it”
Paddy looks up to find Ambrose smiling a private smile and nodding like he’s hearing voices Paddy can not.
"Rain might just be enough" Ambrose says, seeming pleased with the answer "Rain and the saltwater of tears”Or: Eoin comes back.

Summary
“Will it be a romance?” Paddy prodded.

“And will it be a happy ending? For your adventurer?”
Eoin shrugged, held out his hand for Quantum Theory by David Bohm, “Time will tell.”Bookmarked by grimemoth

Summary
David has always been a jealous man. So it is to be expected, though he would never admit to it aloud, that when he first sets eyes on Eoin McGonigal, his honest reaction is vile envy.
"You're alive," David manages.
"So are you," Eoin says. "I take it your parachute survived the drop this time, sir."
OR: Eoin survived the fall, Eve did not, and David will go mad if he has to spend one more day in a prison camp.
