Summary
The Hearth and Honey Bakery was only a year old, but had really taken off. Lucanis had developed regular customers, including his very sweet neighbor who ran the bookshop next door, and began to receive more and more requests for custom event cakes. He could even afford to finally hire someone to help with the work load.
Building his perfect little life in Nevarra City hadn't been easy, but he loved the place he found himself in now; doing something he was passionate about, something that made him truly happy for the first time in decades.
He loved his new life, and he would fight tooth and nail to keep it, no matter who threatened it.

He just wanted a mocha with too much sugar. Instead, he found a dark bookstore run by a man who doesn't know how light switches work and a dog that looks like it eats intruders for breakfast.
Neil is a walking disaster who doesn't realize he’s being watched. Andrew is a man who watches everything and feels nothing—until now. The Foxes are still broken, the "reunions" are still a nightmare, and Andrew is pretty sure the book he just bought is poorly edited.
But he’s going back tomorrow. Not for the book. For the "bat."

Summary
A large percentage of people shared similar routines.
The kind of life you could infer just by looking through the large windows of a building. Men doing the same work, dressed the same way, waiting for quitting time so they could return home to their perfect wives and live the life everyone believed every newyorker desired. From that moment on, Whizzer knew that no matter what happened, his life would never end that way.
Marvin was part of that percentage of people who lived similar routines.
And perhaps his life had always been destined for quietness. Nothing truly shook his world. No one and nothing cared enough about him to try to change it. Like a sea filled with waves that came and went joyfully while, deep beneath the surface, endless loneliness remained.
