Summary
Blood drips from his nose, painting his mouth garish with its vibrance. Someone stop me, he thinks while the last of his panicked sanity flees for cover. I don't know how—
A mass of muscles and beautiful, athletic form pulls them apart without a wince of effort.

Summary
She’s caught onto the tune now—singing along after scant repetitions about lunatics and rooms and dark forebodings. Mouth turned up at the corners. The moon is dark, and she sings of it with longing, with intent, and the desire to be perceived.
What does this song mean to her? If it’s the madness or the spoken yearning which twists it into something desperate on her tongue; a crevasse she’s tripped into. He swears she’d never heard it before tonight.
Or
If music transcends time and space and sanity, why is the bard on the sidelines? Eddie is an Orpheus in this universe, learning to look forward even as his courage falters. Chrissy is a knight of hope, a candle flickering in the darkness. She deserves a second chance and I am determined to give her one.

Summary
He listens to the radio until it crackles out, and then is left with music of knives brushing wood, of hands tapping utensils, scraping pans of their well-earned flavours. The murmurs that are not strictly conversation between Syd and Carm but are a language all their own.
These are the people who showed him what it meant to fall in love with cooking, with pastry and precision and flavour. These are the people who run this kitchen, sometimes badly, sometimes ill-managed, but always with their hearts on full, blasting heat.
Or
The employees of The Bear get by day by day. Morning prep gives way to evening train rides, unexpected meals, and heartfelt confessions.

Summary
Mr. Alphonse Harding has never, in all his years, been interested in the prospect of a wife. As a young man, he entered the military and served unimpeded by his lack of title or wealth for a subsequent eight years. In the final year of his service, he was sent a letter from a lawyer concerning a previously unknown will. This letter detailed an inheritance bequeathed to him of a small estate in the countryside.
The General was . . . irritated to say the least by Alphonse’s decision to abandon his military career.
Now Alphonse must decipher how to run his small estate with limited relevant experience, as all the while his neighbours the Ford’s plague him with dinner requests, tenant advice, and offers of a friendly nightcap much too late in the evening for him to travel safely home. Not to mention their daughter’s curious fixation with making him smile.

Summary
Bilbo pressed his ear to the door but he could hear no sound of heavy boots on the ground nor the murmur of any voices. He was in between, which was always dangerous, all the more so because of his current designation with the inhabitants outside his hidden door.

Summary
“Hey, little boss,” Ms. Jayce says with a smile when she arrives, also touching the top of Ellie’s hard hat before picking her up and resting her on one hip. “Where’s the big boss at, huh? Thought he was gonna be out sick today.”
“Daddy’s doing some other stuff,” she says, which she came up with on her walk to the job this morning. It’s not a lie, which is important.
“Oh yeah?” Ms. Jayce asks, checking the progress notes on their clipboard on the wall and handing Ellie the pen to write her initials down for work to start today. “Already beating us to the punch, huh?”
“Uh huh,” Ellie says. She’s not sure who’s getting punched, but Ms. Jayce seems satisfied with the answer.
“Well then, little boss,” Ms. Jayce says, adjusting Ellie to sit a little more securely on her hip. “Let’s get to work.”
(when joel's out sick, ellie decides to clock in for him) (this is obviously a great idea and there's no problems at all)
