    Summary

    Jean glances up at the lieutenant as the latter walks by his desk, the wrinkles on his weary face forming deep caverns between his eyebrows.

    Kim already knows what Jean is going to say but braces himself anyway, squashing down the knee-jerk defensiveness that’s already starting to bubble up.

    “You think he’s relapsed?”

    It doesn’t come out as angry as Kim had expected. He stops walking and stares at the exit as if he could summon Harry at that very moment, as if he could make his partner miraculously burst through the doorway just so Kim doesn’t have to have this conversation.

    After months of showing up on time—sometimes even early—for work, Harry's sudden absence raises alarm bells. Kim goes to his apartment to investigate, and tries not to shatter at what he learns there.

    Summary

    INLAND EMPIRE: He falls asleep sometimes with your hand wrapped around his, clutched to his chest. You like it because you can feel him breathing. Sometimes when you’ve had a loud day he has you sit between his legs on the floor while he sits on the couch and pushes his fingers through your soft hair, massages all the chaos out of your head until you’re groaning and letting the full weight of your overfull skull rest on his thigh. Runs his fingers through your mutton chops until you’re full to bursting with satisfaction.

    INTERFACING: His hands are clever. They take you apart and put you back together like one of his machines. They smell of the polish he uses on the leather of his gloves, beeswax and eucalyptus. They’re beautiful, too.

    Summary

    You blink. “So you’ve been staying here, nine hours daily, not a bit of nicotine in you?”

    “I make up for it by smoking like a chimney right after.” He shrugs. “Besides, you’re a good influence. What can I say, lieutenant?”

    “My home isn’t a rehab centre.” The smile tugging at the corners of your mouth bleeds into your speech. “I’m tempting you now. Lucky for you, you can always bum one off me.”

    ——

    Kim’s on mandatory medical leave. Jean’s here. Kim agrees to let Jean change his bandages.

    Summary

    "Harry likes his apartment now, if only because he has filled it with the presence of people he loves, with new objects and memories to cover up the old. Late take-out dinners with Kim while working a case. Suzerainty nights with Kim, Trant and Judit in April, adding a reluctant Jean to the mix in May. Sharing cigarettes with Jean at the window. Kim, bright-eyed as he talks about his Kineema, loose-tongued from the wine they shared. Jean, walking around the apartment with a faraway gaze, sharing memories of Harry’s furniture and trying to hide his disappointment when Harry can't remember, his hope when Harry does."

    It is the summer of '51, and between sunshine and bullet wounds, Jean, Kim and Harry grow closer with careful touches and smiles, shared cigarettes and case files. But affection is a fragile thing between lonely men...
