    Summary

    “I’ve just left him,” Trent said the moment he slid into the booth next to Coach Beard. He had intended to play it cool, but it all came out in a rush. “He doesn’t want to go back. He admitted that his mum guilted him into leaving Richmond, and he doesn’t want to go.”

     

    Beard’s expression didn’t change. “Is he still going?”

     

    Trent sat straight against the back of the booth. “Yes.”

    Summary

    “What if I’m not suited for it?”

    “You are,” he says it the same way he’d say gravity is the force that keeps us from floating away into space. Like it’s incontrovertible. Like it’s true.

    “How do you know?” she asks. The question sounds so fucking childish.

    “Because I know you.”

    Summary

    Maybe it's her grief. Maybe it's the way she feels just that much closer to something frightening and cosmic right now. Or maybe that in-tune feeling, the one that used to jar her, is still there, untampered with despite time and distance.

    It doesn't matter, whatever it is. The point is she feels it. Who knows how, or even really where, exactly, she's feeling it, but beneath this overwhelming persistent fear, something shifts when he steps into the church behind her.

    Summary

    She took a breath and pressed herself up on her tiptoes, gently pressing her lips to his cheek, and he froze. “Michelle, I—”

    Henry squealed at the sight, immediately running over and hugging both of their legs tightly. “I’m so happy we’re a family again…” 

    And Ted snapped his mouth shut, a strained smile on his lips as he gently rested a hand on top of his son’s head. “Me too, bud… me too.” 

    He feels like he’s dying.

    --

    Ted falls into a dark depression having given up everything to go be a dad to Henry. He hates that being around his son isn't enough.

    Michelle notices and does what needs to be done in order to save him.
