    Summary

    "This house is dangerous, especially for you."

    "This house, the promise, is your responsibility now."

    He wonders if his dad had noticed the contradiction. He wonders if he'd cared. Wonders if it matters.

    Dangerous or not, Steve would never have been able to hold himself together for as long as his father had.

    Summary

    Steve couldn’t tell you why he thought it was a good idea.

    If he’s being honest with himself, he doesn’t think it’s a good idea. He’d known from the moment it occurred to him that it was a decidedly bad idea, and he’s not entirely sure why he’s doing it anyway.

    But the hours creep by, and Steve doesn’t turn his car around.


    Or, Steve dies instead of Nell.

    Summary

    Steve was woken by an urgent hand on his shoulder in the middle of the night - the last night. Blearily, he blinked his eyes open and saw his mother crouched beside his bed, staring at him through tear-filled eyes.

    Or: Hugh doesn't reach Steve's room first. This changes everything and nothing.

    Summary

    There was nothing Tristan could do to stop the nightmares from returning. Looking in the bathroom mirror, he hoped those tell-tale signs of exhaustion wouldn’t show—or, at least, could be explained by a vet’s busy schedule. All he had to do was put the past behind him. That was simple enough, right?

    Summary

    He wakes up in a cold sweat, nightmares of a life without her still reverberating through his body. Washing over him, a tidal wave, drowning him in fear and terror and pain. A life where he had never met her at all. He imagines himself, without her, lost and alone. Dead perhaps. With nothing, no-one, to live for.
