Summary
Years later, Jonathan decided the saddest thing in the world was the disintegration of his parents’ relationship—not because it wasn’t a good thing they had separated, but because his mother would never get over Lonnie Byers. It was like she was caught under some strange spell, the compartments of her mind sticky from all his father’s spilled alcohol, trapping only good memories the pair had shared, and willfully, blindly, shoving the rest away.
He wondered, quietly, if the real reason she never got over him was because of her pride. There’s something to be said about that first real relationship. About digging in one's heels and trying to make it work. Joyce had failed in that. She threw away her happiness.

Summary
Wake up. Vomit. Try and hide a massive hangover. Avoid Nancy. Put on a suit. Drink water. Drink more water. Give the best damn speech of all time, one that puts Mike's pedantic bullshit one to shame. Clink glasses with Steve, because yeah—his was definitely better. Hug Mrs. Wheeler, offering her his congratulations. Do the same with the groom. Ask how Ted is doing. Share a dance with Robin. Eat cake. Retire to his hotel room. Fall asleep and—
Wake up.
It's Tuesday again. The sort of day where the sun only rises to humiliate you.

Summary
“You okay?” Mike asks him.
Will turns to look at Mike. The light of the TV is projected on the side of his face, bathing his skin in greens and oranges. Sometimes Will feels like the secret to digging himself out of the wreckage of his childhood is hidden in Mike. There are days when the only thing that can dull the sharp pressure of grief in his ribs is Mike’s presence at his side; steady, thrumming. Will knows the day when he will have to detach himself is coming fast, but here in this basement, where nothing has changed in over a decade, time seems to have come to a screeching halt. It’s just the two of them, sat in the last place they were innocent together.
“Yeah,” Will whispers, “I’m okay.”

Summary
“You know,” Bobby said, looking thoughtful, “I might have a solution for you. There’s a childcare center near here called Save the Day. They aren’t open overnight, of course, but they are open until 9 with the option to stay a bit late if a shift runs long.”
Eddie stared at Bobby in wonder. “Holy shit. I should have told you about Chris during my interview for the station, that’s perfect! Wait– How much does it cost? I know childcare isn’t exactly cheap, and LA is already kind of expensive–”
“Everyone at the 118 gets a discount. Perks of having an in at the daycare.”
