    Summary

    It’s not like Don is doing this for fun, he reminds himself as the olive-skinned turtle makes up four fresh syringes and starts measuring out doses. He’s his doctor and his brother, he only has Mikey’s best interest at—

    He blinks, eyes suddenly fixed on the band of cloth fixed tight to Don’s upper thigh. “Dude, what’s wrong with your leg?

    Summary

    “What was that?” Haley says, idly wrapping a strand of her hair around her finger. She imagines Leah’s hands braiding her hair, separating it, pushing each curl away from her face, soft and gentle and a type of intimacy she’s never let herself have.

    (There are many things Haley has asked for, and there are many things Haley has wanted; many things she has ached for. The two rarely overlap.)

    “I asked,” Leah says, a little clearer, “if you would do my make-up. For the party. I’ve got this character I want to dress up as, and…” she trails off, waving her hand in the air.

    Haley tilts her head, as if imagining it. In truth, she already knows what she will say. She has never been able to say no to Leah; rarely, in fact, has she allowed herself to say no to anyone. “Oh, I suppose I could do that. But I want a deal.”

    Summary

    As a reporter, April O’Neil doesn’t believe in questions that she shouldn’t know the answers to. “Okay,” she says, pretending for a moment longer that she’s not in her bathroom talking to her own reflection with an ironing board and a stack of pillows belted to her back. “Let the experiment begin.”
