    Summary

    This never happened, Don thinks, a little dazed. But what, exactly, had just not happened?
    Whatever it was, it's done, decisively whisked out of sight and shut away, smoothed over. This is why clients have always liked Ken, unfailingly preferred him to even the most committed boot-lickers. Campbell would bend over backwards to solve a client's problem; Kenny just doesn't seem to have problems in the first place, his sunny confidence – a smile, a shrug – simply repelling them. Call him a mark, but Don had assumed that the laid-back cheeriness was his default state, not a deliberate choice, until he'd stopped being able to turn it on at the office.

    Chevy break the rules of engagement. Don tries his best. With cavalry like this, who needs the enemy?

    Summary

    But now that Miri knows that people go away, forever, she can’t stop thinking about it. It’s like when she got that train set for Christmas and the track was a circle. When she and her father finished setting it up all the train did was go around and around and around, to nowhere, until you got bored and turned off the motor. Miri’s brain feels like that train set, only without the switch.

    meditations on childhood mental illness.

    “No, I’m Jeremiah’s ex-wife.” She said, the words insane to her own ears. “I’m Jere’s ex-wife and I’m his brother’s girlfriend.”

    Summary

    He laughs, but it doesn’t explode out of him anymore. Ha ha ha ha! It used to fill the house, him and Steven the loudest of the four, crowing like beasts, Jeremiah cackling after them, Belly the eternal victim of their antics. Now it rumbles out of him, a low, surly chuckle.

    And so Laurel knows, long, long before it ever happens, when it begins to end.

    // Laurel, and what it’s like to watch the children you thought you’d raise alongside your best friend grow up.
