    Summary

    "Would you come if it were a request and not an order anyway?"

    If he’d asked, truly asked, I want to see you topped with please, Jean would have cursed him out and jumped on the first plane to South Carolina. And perhaps I guess you could come here is not a stern come to Palmetto that it could have been, but it is not good enough, it is not what Jean wants from him. In the end that’s what’s changed the most: Jean can want things now, not as much as his heart would like to, but just enough to expect something honest from Kevin.

    Jean brushes his fingers over the ridiculous print of a beret on his brand new sheets and asks, "Is there even a difference in your vocabulary between those two?"

    "Is there for you?" Kevin retorts.

    or, Jean Moreau agrees to visit Palmetto during winter break. It goes about as well as you might expect.

    Summary

    TESSA GRAY had never been one to stand out in a crowd. She preferred to sit quietly in the back row, buried in a pile of books. At least, that’s the way her life was going, until her brother was named CEO of Mortmain Industries. All of a sudden, her life was turned upside-down. Now she’s the center of attention wherever she goes, whether she likes it or not.

    JEM CARSTAIRS had come back from the brink of death. Diagnosed with stage III lung cancer at 15 years old, he doesn’t expect to live much longer. All he wants is to live life to the fullest and not let his disease define him—unfortunately, his parents have all but locked him away, only letting him out to further his father’s political career.

    WILL HERONDALE had no expectations. Born into poverty, he had to fight tooth and nail to get himself and his sisters out of the slums and into a house that was only slightly falling apart at the seams. Finally, something seems to be going right for his family… Until his past comes back to bite him, threatening to tear apart everything he had worked for.

    Summary

    “Who the fuck is Kevin dating?” Nicky asks, as he arrives at the table where most of the team, bar for Neil, Kevin and Andrew, are sitting. Nicky doesn’t sit down, deciding instead to balance a bowl of cereal and a glass of orange juice wildly on a tray. By now Dan would presume that half of the contents must have spilled on it, the way Nicky moves, but the tray is still dry and clean.
    “I thought he was still dating Thea,” Matt offers and Dan pets his arm as soon as Nicky and Allison give him the ‘I can’t believe you’ stare.
    “They broke up about five months ago,” Renee says, spreading jam on her bread roll and sighing as she bites into it.

    Or, Five times the Foxes try to find out who Kevin is dating and one time they don’t have to.

    Summary

    Wymack grunted. “Hey, why don’t I call in takeout from Sweeties and we can eat it in the office? I have a sixteen year old boy in the back of the patrol car right now that I’m running to the station.”

    Andrew scoffed quietly to himself and set the phone on speaker to light his cigarette. Muffled, he said, “He better be eye candy if I’m coming to that dump.”

    Andrew inhaled deep and closed his eyes for a moment before blowing the smoke out through his teeth. On the other end of the phone, just as he was bringing the cigarette back for another drag, he heard Wymack say, “Hey, my son wants to know if you’re cute.”

    Andrew coughed up his lung at that surprise, but he didn’t miss the way that a distant voice piped up with “I want to say yes, sir.”

    -

    Andrew and Aaron lived under two loose rules after Andrew’s stint in juvie: No more lying, no more secrets. Andrew already had years old secrets to take to the grave, but upon meeting a boy with a fiery attitude and a penchant against staying out of trouble, he quickly realized that he wasn’t the only one.
