    Summary

    “He had a sharp nose and head with full, healthy hair, and was dressed in a white button-up shirt that looked crisp and too tight on his body, with slacks hanging low on narrow hips. There was stubble along his jaw and exhaustion beneath his eyes despite the well-kept mustache and soft blue tint of his irises, but somehow neither of those things took away from him. If anything, they added something unfairly charming. He smelled faintly of cheap cologne and cigarette smoke, and something sweeter underneath that reminded Healy vaguely of oranges.

    Healy frowned when he noticed that the man’s blond hair was exactly the same shade of June’s usual beehive hairdo.”

    Or

    Four times Jackson Healy thought about kissing Holland March, and one time Holland March kissed him. (Plus one bonus chapter at the end)

    Summary

    In the car, Holly holds her breath, tasting the word dyke on her tongue sweet like sugar.
    In the car, the world flows past but she keeps on moving too.
    In the car, Mr. Healy clears his throat. "Okay."

    A study on birdsong and growing older. On parents and anger. On love and loss. On endings and beginnings. On Holly's three months of summer vacation and the family forming around her.

    Or: Holly's summer of gay understanding

    Summary

    Stuck without a place to sleep while the club that houses his apartment is remodeled, Jackson finds himself camping out on the March's couch, and then somehow, he migrates to Holland's bed. He blames Holly. But, as they're working opposite shifts on a stake-out case, it's not like Holland is using it at the same time. And then he's got more things to worry about, like their seemingly simple case taking quite a left turn, not to mention Holland's penchant to make rash decisions... They'll figure out the bed thing later.

    Summary

    Jackson Healy is not a family man, nor is he a relationship man. He learned that one the hard way after the divorce.

    So, can someone tell him why he’s standing at the cash register of a dollar store, watching Holland March fiddle with his wallet with a giant poster board under his armpit, while a pile of markers of all colors and stationery sits on the conveyor belt? Though he supposes that’s another one of life’s great mysteries, and something he’ll wake up every morning asking himself.

    Summary

    March had his palm read once, years back, by a hack psychic in a gaudy tent at some old timey carnival Holly had begged to go to. She'd taken one look at his craggy hands – two fingers bandaged at the time - and told him, in no uncertain terms, that if he didn't slow down, boy, he was gonna hurt himself. He tipped her very badly.

    Suffice to say, he did not often have the appearance of a man in control of his own destiny.
