    Summary

    T-h-e-o. Do you feel like a late bloomer? she tried to sign.
    He seemed to think about it for a moment.
    Honestly?
    Honestly, she smiled.
    I never went to Coney Island before I drove you there, what do you think?
    The text was written in jest, judging by Theo’s crooked smile, but Mabel kept what mattered - the answer to her question was yes, and there was unexpected relief in that.

    Frustrated with the turn their lives have taken, Mabel and Theo decide to help each other out.

    Summary

    Mabel knows she and Theo have no business being friends. There's too much history and too much pain between them.

    So why can't she stop texting him? And why does he keep answering?

    "Theo didn’t have any business sending her another message after that. He definitely shouldn’t have typed “I have a feeling your coat won’t look as good on me as mine did on you.” and then quickly hit backspace. That was not what you said to someone who once accused you of murder. Someone who you had kidnapped. She had sent him a normal text. He could do this. He could text her like a normal, functioning adult who hadn’t spent all of Tuesday staring at her lips. "

    Summary

    “I care about Henry. I care about how he does in my class. But more than that, I want him to like it. I want him to find a poem that makes him feel like each line is being etched into the inside of his ribs. Have you felt that, Mrs. Waldorf? Do you know what I mean?”

    “No,” she says tightly. “You sound ridiculous.”

    Humphrey laughs. The sound echoes. It makes her shiver.

    “Yeah, I know,” he says. “But have I at least convinced you to let me try?”

    Summary

    Ranging from Raylan's first year in Lexington to six years after his return to Miami, a series of snapshots featuring Raylan and Tim. Eventually Raylan/Tim.

    With the exception of #5 maybe, the stories work well enough on their own, I think.
