Summary
When the teacher turns away, Harrington sighs. Slouches in his seat. Tips his head back far enough that their eyes accidentally meet. It's not Harrington who looked away first. It almost never was. In the dream, though, Billy can look and look. And look, and look, and look. The devil doesn't mind about this part of him. Maybe appreciates how useful it is.

Summary
"What do I do?” Steve appealed into the phone. “I’m freaking out.”
There was silence on the other end of the line. It lasted so long that Steve pulled the receiver away from his ear and frowned at it. Pay phones were old. Maybe this one wasn’t working despite the obvious dial tone when he picked up.
“Ok,” a stranger’s voice said over the phone. “First acknowledge the fact that you dialed the wrong number, but be quick about it because my cab is a few blocks away from my own plans and I’m about to drop some truth bombs on you.”

“Mr. Eames,” he said at last. “The relationship between a Flight Director and Astronaut needs to be one of mutual trust as well as mutual responsibility, but make no mistake—I am not your friend.”

Summary
The bar looks like Cupid threw up on it. Like, gone out on the town, had himself a bender with all his buddies, stumbled here and let it rip. Everything is heart-shaped, the place is packed, and there’s so much fucking glitter —
It’s wildly far from Billy’s first pick. To say the least.
If it weren’t for the gorgeous brunette across the room making moon eyes at him, Billy would walk right out.
