    Summary

    When she'd gone to Robby, she wonders whether he'd been able to smell the desperation buried beneath her hesitance, the overwhelming stench of decaying need giving itself away. Believe me, believe me, believe me. It's all she'd ever wanted. Maybe no one had to die this time.

    Or: Trinity Santos rediscovers the meaning of team.

    Summary

    Trinity Santos is very good at keeping secrets. Which means she’s very good at knowing who else is keeping secrets.

    In retrospect, that might have been why she was able to clock Langdon so easily on her first day. There was something in his eyes.

    'Please don’t find out. Please don’t find out. Please don’t find out.'

    Amateur. Trinity had years to learn how to hide that look, to perfect the best way to hide everything behind sharp eyes and sarcastic remarks. Dr. Langdon didn’t have such luck. A beginner.

    Just like the girl laying on the hospital bed, hands on her stomach, leaving out a whimper or two as Santos, automatically and barely even there, presents the case. She looks at the teenager and sees it too.

    'Please don’t find out. Please don’t find out. Please don’t find out.'

    Summary

    yelled down the hall but nobody answered / so she walked outside without an excuse

    Once a year, every year, Trinity Santos is in a worse mood than ever. This year, she ends up in the Pitt instead of at home, where her barbs are heard only by herself. When a case hits a little too close to home, there's only one person brave enough to weather the storm she wraps herself in.
