    Summary

    “Hey! It’s a lot up here, okay? It’s a normal response to stress.” He rubs a hand over his face. “Okay, I cried a lot down there, too. But not in class! Not if I could help it. But having to say goodbye, gosh, I’ve never been good at that.” Grace laughs, but it sounds sad. His mouth is shut firmly, and he leans against my ball. He’s so soft, his body melds to the side of the xenonite with ease. “I can’t imagine what a mess I’ll be when—” he cuts himself off, but I know what was coming next.

    I’m not sure how I’ll be when we say goodbye either. It didn’t seem like it’d matter so much at first, after all, if we part ways, it means we succeeded. I’d be going back to Erid, to Adrian, to home. But I’d be leaving behind Grace. The thought of that is unpleasant. It sinks deep in me; the emotion is painfully familiar. It’s been a long time since I’ve had anyone to mourn losing anyone again. I don’t want to think about it, I’m not ready.

    or 5 times Rocky feels something for Grace. 1 time he does something about it.

    Summary

    Between processing the unhealed grief of losing his wife, trying to keep from drinking himself into a coma, and struggling with his freshly grown feelings for his business partner, accepting a new case is probably not the smartest thing March has ever done.

    Summary

    A few weeks after starting the Nice Guys agency March gets drunk, Healy gets a strange inkling, and Holly watches The Parent Trap.

     

    Not for the first time, Jackson wonders why he agreed to this partnership. But there’s something he can’t quite put his finger on, something about the soft, hapless, helpless way March loves his daughter and knows what a screwup he is, that makes something funny happen inside Jackson’s chest. He hasn’t eaten yet today but it feels almost like his stomach is twisting, like he’s about to do something stupid and completely out of his own control even though Jackson Healy has always prided himself on how well he keeps himself under control.

     

    Not food poisoning, Jackson thinks. March poisoning.

    Summary

    "Grace sad, not good. I fix."

    "… Um. How?" I ask. "Oh, God, please don't make me a human-shaped robot to hug. That would be so creepy."

    "No robot," Rocky promises.

    (Or: Grace was touch-starved even before he left Earth. Rocky attempts to fix.)
