    Summary

    The toddler began to cry, and then he started to cough from trying to cry too hard, snot dripping down his face. Another adult came hurrying over to help him to his feet before they went inside to head, presumably, to the nurse’s office.

    Loud, chaotic, dirty. Everything that went against Al-Haitham’s standards.

    “Working here as what?” Kaveh blinked. “Like admin or something? That’s probably quiet and far enough from kids for you. Though—”

    “No,” interrupted Al-Haitham. “I don’t.”

    After getting fired from a prestigious architecture firm, Kaveh moves back to his hometown to raise his five-year-old brother only to find that an old college "acquaintance" is his little brother's kindergarten teacher.

    Summary

    In Rio, where the unfamiliarity blinds in the sense that nothing he can see has yet been made familiar, north could be anywhere. One step forward could take him to the ocean. One step backward could in fact be marching frontwards, not that Shouyou would know, not here, not yet. And so he is keenly aware that measuring his progress merely by success is a facade, and being so intimate with failure, is doubly conscious of its inevitability.

    After all, to fall is coded in our genes—but stunningly, impossibly, so is the impulse to rise.

    Summary

    “Well, it’s not as if I can just get a real partner out of nowhere,” Kaveh says in frustration, and then an idea comes to him, one that makes him pause right before he’s about to call Al-Haitham a mocking name, his mouth slightly open and positioned around the words.

    He swivels to the side. “You know,” he says slowly. “I can’t get a real partner. But if I had somebody, anybody—that’d do the job.”

    Al-Haitham has the audacity to snort. “And where would you find a person like that?”

    Kaveh figures the best way to start off his love potion business is to enter a fake relationship. Al-Haitham is just along for the ride.

    Summary

    Alexander takes the letter from my hands, and I know he sees the name on the envelope because he sets it on the table without opening it, quickly, like the words would burn him if he read them.

    “Oliver,” Alexander says carefully, his voice a mixture of fear, wonderment, and grief. “Are you sure you want me to –?”

    “I need to know if you can see what I see,” I tell him. “You’re the only one who could be objective about it. Meredith’s too prejudiced against him. Pip would just pity me. I can’t talk to Wren. You’re the only one who can be objective. You’ll tell me if it’s nothing. You always have.”
