Walter takes a deep breath, and very deliberately does not reach for the nearest heavy object capable of inflicting blunt force trauma.

“About wrestling! This has nothing to do with chess,” Freddie huffs.

Summary
Freddie's mother takes a deep, angry breath, blowing it out of her nose as she turns onto the highway at last—taking them out of Pittsburgh and to the east.
“I don’t know, dear,” she says, her tone cold and biting, at odds with her words. “Frankly, there are more important things in life than chess.”

Summary
It would have probably been best if Grace recovered a few more memories of his life on Earth before asking the Eridians to synthesize alcohol for him. Like, maybe, all the memories of how dependent he used to be on substances and how much of a train wreck his life was whenever he let them control him. Surely, though, things will be different on an alien planet.

Summary
"I'll keep you updated. In the meantime, go back to sleep. When you need to worry, I'll tell you."
"Heh." Ryland ran his hand down his face. "It's terrible you know that it actually makes me feel better. What would I do without you?"
"Explode at a colleague at a conference and get expelled from academia and become a middle school teacher." Eva said, promptly.
"Wow, you've thought about that way too hard." Ryland laughed. "Middle schoolers might not vape in class, though. Maybe I should switch."
"Let's not joke."

"Has anyone ever asked Joaquín to stay?"
It was a blindingly simple question that hit Manolo with the strength of a rampaging bull. But then, María always asked the most difficult questions.

Summary
"I am simply pointing out, that in the past few months, I have had more gay sex than I ever, ever considered having.”
Desmond drank deeply from his beer, and made a face. He was Assassin, but he was above all things a bartender, and this cheap, off-brand beer was an assault on all things he held dear.
“Like, at least two lifetimes worth of gay sex.”
