    Summary

    “So,” Robby says, dropping his work bag onto the bar chair, his long hands gripping the back of it as he looks at Jack.

    The elation is still there, but dulled at the reality seeping in between them.

    “So,” he says, putting his bag down as well.

    “How does this work?” Robby asks and Jack can’t help but twist his lips a little in amusement.

    “I don’t know. How do you want this to work?”

     

    Or: how two people finally find their way to one another after so long, only to work through the growing pains of meshing their lives together

    Summary

    "It's Santos."

    Parker's dry observations flitted through Jack's mind again—that ever-present question of whether he should raise it...but now didn't seem like the time. "A month in and still driving you up the wall? What'd she do this time?"

    Robby shook his head, despairing. "What didn't she do?" Then he refocused on Jack, something sharper there, more intent. "Doesn't matter. Distract me?"

    Jack works two very different July 4th shifts.
