Summary
“What got you so panicked?” Jack reaches out to poke Dave’s temple. “Lemme in that head of— yours.” In Dave's lean-away from Jack’s jabbing finger, the light is able to catch the line of skin beneath his slightly-unbuttoned shirt. It's just enough to make visible the speckled, rosening, clear-as-day outline of teeth on Dave’s lower neck.
“I give you all my ideas already,” Davey answers, fully oblivious to the realization Jack is battling against. “You can’t be any more in my head,” which would be a real flattering statement, if he’d said it any time but now, Jack thinks. Jack thinks, maybe it’s for the best he’s not in Dave’s head, because he’s not sure he can handle the full truth of the situation, right now. “Look, it doesn’t matter. You’re coming for dinner, right?”
“Nah,” says Jack, not feeling the slightest bit hungry anymore. “I got someplace to be.”
Davey is popular. Jack is jealous.

Summary
“What you know about the Strike's chances,” Davey says, “is I gave you my word.”
“Yeah?” Spot leans back. “And the hell do I know about your word?”
“You know Jack trusts it.”
“Well, if Jack trusts it...” Spot laughs. “Look, our Jacky, he trusts anything with a pretty face and a good performance of conviction. 'S the problem with your 'Strike'. He trusts his kids to see it through, but why? They don't got his blood in their veins, so they ain't family, and he ain't got their blood on his fists, so they ain't afraid. Your strike is gonna begin and end with those of you fool enough to send him back the trust he puts in you.” He looks Davey up and down, a drawn-out motion that has the words pretty face ringing in Davey’s ears. “Here's hoping you’s smarter than that, Mouth.”

Summary
“I’m here,” Davey started, “because I figured out that I was… like these people. And I wanted to know more. To meet someone like me. To have someone make sense of it all.”
Jack was quiet for a moment, then two, spending that time sizing Davey up, till he seemed to reach a new conclusion. A smile spread slow over his face, and he said, “Dunno if I’m that right person for that, Dave.”
“I never said I wanted it to be you.” His tone matched Jack’s, his words lies just as Jack’s had been, but both spoken so lightly that the truth was clear as if it had been spoken aloud.
Jack laughed, shorter and breathier than all of the previous, and pushed his glass away. “I like you,” he said, as if it were so simple.
Then again, Davey thought, maybe it was.

Summary
It’s no different, you tell yourself, a worn-out mantra, as the summer sun beats down on your shoulders. He ain’t any different than any of the ones before him.

Summary
It started with running: with wind in their hair, feet falling heavy on the pavement, and Jack’s hand wrapped around his wrist.
It started with talking: laughter, a bottle of wine, and Kath's fingertips dancing over her knee.
