Remember, he called. Just be yourself, and everyone will love you! Nick rolled his eyes and made a rude gesture, and Alan drove the car away laughing.

I'll drive both of you, Seb offered at once. Mae nodded at him with gratitude. No, Jamie said sternly. I'm never getting into your horrible car. I promised myself that, because--it's horrible, and you're horrible. So take that!

I don't have deal breakers, Alan said. I look on tempests, and am never shaken.

I'll do a deal with you McFarlane, he said. You can exist. And you can even have coffee. But if you raise your voice or make any sudden movements, I shall die. And that'll show you. Seb shrugged in return, hiding how pleased he was pretty badly. Fair enough.

Sin met Mae and Alan coming into the flat. Mae frowned. Is it no-shirts festival day? Every day with Nick is no-shirts festival day, Alan said absently, but he was frowning too.

It was all right. Nick thought about this and decided that what Alan said was true. He'd never been helpless before, not since he could remember, but now he was and everything was all right. He did not have to speak, he was not able to move, all he could do was lie there and have his brother hold him, hunched over and shielding him from the world.

I don't want to seem ungrateful when you have given me this thoughtful, homemade and totally terrifying gift, Jamie told him. But you can't imagine I'm going to use it. Just to hold someone off. Just remember what I taught you, said Nick. Just buy a little time so I can come get you. Jamie. I'll come get you.

On the morning of the fourth day, Jamie tipped a switchblade out of his box of cornflakes. “I think these promotional campaigns have really got out of hand,” he said, freezing with his hand on the milk carton. “One shiny free knife with every packet of cereal bought is not a good message to send out to the kiddies.

Nick looked vaguely homicidal, but that was sort of his default expression.

I saw you put rice in a toaster once, said Mae. I was there when made the tin of beans explode. It was faulty, Jamie protested, his eyes shifty. I am sure of this.

Nick scowled out the window. I have friends in Exeter already. I have-those people, you know, they hang around outside the bike sheds, they're always hassling Jamie. Those are some awesome dudes, Jamie muttered. Don't let them get away.

I read The Hunger Games voraciously and was extremely annoyed when interrupted by such inconsequential things as 'Christmas dinner.' (God, Mom, did you not understand Katniss was being pursued by the mutts? You have several children, why does it always have to be about collecting the whole set all the time?)

I don't mean to cast a dark shadow on all your hopes and dreams, except of course I do, because that is who I am. I'm a dream ruiner.

And they all lived happily ever after (barring death, divorce, arrest for tax fraud, that incident with the pool boy...)

Oh, she said, in a very different way. Well. Thanks for my part in the compliment. Naturally I'd love to be watched and controlled, but I think I may be washing my hair that day.

I don't think you're weak, Jared said. I want to guard you because you are important to me. Because you are - God, this is going to sound so stupid, I can never think of a way to say it - you are precious. I can never think of how to describe the value you have to me, because all the words for value suggest that you belong to me, and you don't

Would it help if I stood around uselessly not knowing what to say?

Do you mean am I worried about people seeing me with my jeans off? Sure. Sometimes people are overcome. They fall down. They hit their heads. It's worrying.

Lots of kids in books are only-child orphans, but I think it’s fun to have family as part of the adventure, to have familial love be as important as romantic love, and to show that love can go through fire and darkness - not unchanged, because experiences like that change everyone - but never faltering
