    Summary

    “Nothing serious yet,” Maria says, reaching out and smoothing a few short curls away from James’ face, “there’s just been a few cases of pertussis reported among some of the younger kids.” After looking at both Joel and Tommy’s blank faces, she says, “whooping cough.”

    Fuck, Joel thinks.

    “Oh, fuck,” Tommy says.

     

    When an illness strikes the family, Joel starts to realize just how much of a community he has for the first time in a long time.

    Summary

    Then again, Mizi would also never part with Sua, and now look at her.

    A half-empty bottle of water is pressed into his hands. “You need to eat. Ivan too.”

    Reminded of the man who nearly sacrificed his life for him, Till feels for his pulse for the nth time that hour.

     

    Thump-thump-thump.

     

    Still alive.

    Mizi looks at him with something in her gaze. Till opens the bottle and takes a sip.

    It tastes like pity. It tastes like understanding.
