    Summary

    It starts, as these things often do, with Pez. The calendar says it’s only the second week of January, but it has been an extraordinarily long two weeks, and he must do something to combat these winter blues or he’ll go mad.

    He sends a text to the Super Six group chat. “January is boring. Let’s escape real life! I’m renting a house for a winter getaway. Let’s figure out a weekend when we’re all free.”

    Summary

    It was just after Liam and his boyfriend had officially called it quits when Alex had moved back to Texas and was hosting a housewarming barbecue. Now here he is, in Alex’s backyard, and never in a hundred years when they were growing up did he imagine he would be at a casual party with this group. It isn’t until June throws a balled-up napkin at them and groans “Get a room!” that he even realizes how long he’s been talking (and flirting) with just Pez.

    Pez smiles brightly and stands up, offering a hand to Liam. “Well, darling, if you insist, perhaps we shall. Liam? Care to join me for the rest of the night?”

    Summary

     

    “It’s fine,” Wes says, waving it off. “She’ll post a pic of their seder with a happy, Wes-less family, and it’s all fine,” he insists.

    “Do you need a seder?” Nora says, speaking before she thinks of it. “Come to ours!”

    “One problem with that, babe,” June interrupts, “is that ‘our seder’ is in Boston, where we live, and Wes clearly lives here in Brooklyn.”

    Nora takes a moment to consider the facts and the solution. “So we’ll have it here in Brooklyn!”
    Nora hosts a seder at the brownstone for her friends and their new Brooklyn pals.

    Summary

    Once a month, Alex and Henry set aside a Saturday, free of any other obligations, to have a full day of exploring. It started as a way for them to explore the neighborhood, get to know the streets, and also to not feel locked in, and has expanded in to taking advantage of all the many things their new city has to offer.

    Summary

    100-word drabbles. Mostly unrelated. Don't be put off by the fact that it's incomplete - each chapter is a story in and of itself.

    Title taken from Nora, while Alex is on FaceTime with her from the guest kitchen in Kensington:
    “... Watch it all unfold through a pair of binoculars.”

    We jump around in time, visiting different characters at different times.

    Each little drabble stands alone and unrelated.

    Summary

    “There’s a person here to see you saying they’re your sister,” was not what Henry expected to hear from his front-desk person today.

     

    “It’s June, and…” another pause, “she says that she really could use a brother right now."

    Summary

    “How do you feel?” Nora asks softly, once June’s hands stop trembling.

    June takes a deep breath and lets it out slowly. She looks Nora in the eye. “Good,” she says eventually. “I feel good about this decision. I’m glad we took some time to talk about it before I gave them an answer, but I feel like it was the right decision. I’m happy I can do this for my brother. For my brothers,” she amends.

    Nora nods. She knows June’s telling the truth, but she also can tell there’s something more. “And?” she prompts.

    “And,” June continues, a hint of a smile on her face, and Nora knows it’s for her, that June appreciates that she knows her so well. “I’m nervous.”

    “Okay,” Nora says, shifting so she’s sitting cross-legged across from June on the bed. “Specifics. Let’s hear it. You know how this goes: you tell me what you’re worried about and we’ll talk about it logically.”

    Summary

    Henry’s been working on the new LA shelter for months. He’s had countless conference calls with investors, contractors, city council, and more. Now, they’re ready for the final touches before opening, and Henry needs to be hands-on, literally. He knew this time would come, but he hates being away from home.

    He’s on the phone with his assistant, discussing hotel options, when Alex interrupts. “Why do you need a hotel in LA? My dad lives there. Stay with him. He’d be thrilled to have you there.”

    Henry stays with Oscar Diaz his father-in-law while he's getting the new LA shelter up-and-running. It's a bit of an adjustment, but it's actually nice. He even picks up a few new skills in the kitchen to show Alex!
