    Summary

    Rita sighs.

    "How exactly do two otherwise competent and responsible adults end up with a marriage, an apartment, and two children without ever actually talking about their feelings?"

    Rafael leans forward until his forehead rests against the coffee table.

    "I think it was supposed to be a joke."

    She sighs again. "This is the most inconvenient marriage of convenience in the history of the institution."

    Summary

    The first call he answers in three days is from Devine Awaziem.

    “I think you need to get away from that place for a little while.”

    “This place is home.”

    Silence for a few seconds, and then-

    “Rafa, we both know home isn’t always a place you can stay.”

    (Rafael Barba leaves, comes home, does some healing, and figures some stuff out with a little help from his friends. Featuring a guest room outside of Phoenix, a walk-up apartment full of memories in the Bronx, two cats, an enthusiastic future prosecutor and his mother’s moo shu pork, a concussion, three broken ribs, bed-sharing, the romantic advice of Rita Calhoun, and the quotation of a lot of poetry.)

    Summary

    Months of silence have passed since their final conversation at Forlini's, leaving a promise of unconditional love to wither on the vine. When a late-night conversation forces Olivia to confront her own hypocrisy, she must decide if her stubborn pride is worth more than losing the one man who sees her completely.

     

    Come take my body and my blood
    Like some final communion
    Cause a touch from you could make a soul right
    Could make my soul right

    –’Too Deep’
