Summary
There is a hole in the world in the library, and there is a hole in the world in your head, and there is a hole in the world in your former partner’s chest, deep in his lungs. Maybe you can do something about it, before it is too late.
JEAN VICQUEMARE: An exhale, a flutter of his lashes. “Huh - Harry - time is it-”
SAVOIR FAIRE: It is the sweetest and softest you have ever heard him say your name.
PHYSICAL INSTRUMENT: It makes your knees weak.
YOU: You lean on his desk, palm flat, leaning over him. “It’s early, Jean.”
COMPOSURE: Your voice as soft as his.
JEAN VICQUEMARE: He opens his eyes slowly. They track over you, one pale, one paler.
VISUAL CALCULUS: The lamplight makes them nearly see-through. If you could just gaze into them a moment longer, you will remember everything.

Summary
“Detective,” Kim says patiently, “once again — you outrank me, and Officer Vicquemare is your partner.”
“So?”
“So why don’t you ask him to not call you a silly asshole?”
Harry levels his gaze with Jean’s. “I order you to not call me a silly asshole,” he says, pointing at him.
Jean, without breaking eye contact, gives him the middle finger with both hands.
