    Summary

    “There’ll come a time when you want your own plot of ground, and your four walls, and your roof, and somewhere to lay your poor tired bones.”

    Those words were always really about her, Mary knows. It’s been seven years since she returned to Helford without Jem, and the last thing she expects is for him to turn up on her doorstep.

    Summary

    Barb and Cooper agree to take care of Lucy after a major malfunction in her vault. Cooper's initial reluctance quickly at having the girl in their home shifts into something he can't control.

     

    "Maybe he was looking too far into things. Maybe Lucy didn't understand how things worked on the surface, didn't understand that there were rules and boundaries drawn in invisible ink between men and women, and certainly between adults and teenagers. Maybe the kiss was totally innocent, a mark of affection for the people who had agreed to give her a new home. Maybe the remark about him being kept like a dog was harmless. A joke that didn't quite land. Maybe—

    "Honey, could you get dinner started?" Barb's voice echoed down the stairwell, cheerful and oblivious. "Are you hungry, Lucy?"

    "Starved!" "

    Summary

    Lucy followed the Ghoul out of that shell-struck old observatory and through the ruins of things lost so many times over by this point it was a miracle anyone was around who could still put a name to them. Idly, she figured, he might be the only one left around here who could.

    So maybe that was why she had thrown her lot in with his without much thought about it. Or maybe it was because she figured he, at least, would be upfront with her if he ever decided to throw her to the wolves. Or maybe, for the briefest of seconds, she had looked at him and thought, wildly, impossibly, that they might be on the same page. Or in the same boat, rather, one without any oars, and which was pitching dangerously.

    Or maybe it was something else. Something lesser known. Something like fate, like a little whisper spoken so quietly she didn’t even know she had heard it. But she was listening, now, and the best thing she could do, she figured, was see this through to the end.

    The Ghoul walked ahead, having similar internal dilemmas unbeknownst, albeit with significantly more swearing.
