    Summary

    It won’t ever get away. That feeling. That horrible feeling. It will remain there, deep inside him. Everywhere. In his guts, in his heart, in his head. That awful feeling. Every evening Rick thinks he would get away, that he would wake up one morning, peacefully, and happy. That all this chaos would disappear. Sadly, it comes back most of the mornings. When he opens his eyes, sees the empty side of the bed, feels the cold sheets next to him, it all comes back. Fear, anger, distress, sadness.

    Summary

    He knew it. Of course he knew it. He FUCKING knew it. It was going to be a disaster. No, let’s rephrase that: a MASSIVE disaster. It couldn’t be different, not in this situation. So, when the shooting started, he wasn’t even surprised, and he was even surprised when he saw the blood. He felt devastated by not being surprised and suddenly regret and remorse hit him.

    Summary

    The monkey’s off my back, he told her. Happiness is a possibility after all those years of hurt and pain, after all those years of being an orphan, of growing in the middle of violence, alcohol and drugs, of being surrounded by darkness. Another life was possible, one with a ray of sunshine. “That’s the plan.” Yeah, the plan is to be with this sunshine.

    “Please don’t. Rick. Don’t! Stop!”

    Happiness is a possibility so he should stop. He could totally stop.

    But he doesn’t.

    Summary

    For Cooper Howard (actor, age 45), the roles have been few and far between since the heyday of his career. After a rough divorce, his mostly empty bank account is echoing. When an opportunity for a “mutually beneficial sponsorship” falls into his lap, he finds his expenses taken care of by the very wealthy young Lucy.

    Their contract covers all the practicalities, but no matter how many times Cooper combs through it, there’s no guidance on what to do if he falls in love.
