Alex understood that Len had expected some kind of jealousy when he’d brought Hellie home with them that day from Venice Beach. He hadn’t predicted Hellie’s warm laugh, her easy way of looping her arm around Alex, the way she’d pluck a paperback from Alex’s shelf of thrillers and old sci-fi and say, “Read to me.” Hellie had made this life bearable.

look around. what do you see? people in costumes, horns, false jewels, adorning themselves in tiny layers of illusion. they stand up straighter, suck in their stomachs, say things they don’t mean, indulge in flattery. they commit a thousand small acts of deception, lying to each other, lying to themselves, drinking to the point of delusion to make it easier. this is a night of compacts, between the seers and the seen, a night when people enter false bargains willingly, hoping to be duped and to dupe in turn for the pleasure of feeling brave or sexy or beautiful or simply wanted—no matter how fleetingly.

Jem smiled the sort of smile that made it look as if a light had turned on inside him. He had been alone so long, Emma knew, imagining that he would never have a f a m i l y. To have a wife now and a baby on the way—the very ordinary sort of miracles that made up an ordinary life—must be extraordinary for him.

Soon Jesper was sweating, trying to focus on the rhythm of the work, but he couldn’t shake the sadness in his heart. He’d lost friends. He’d been on jobs when things had gone wrong. Why did this feel so different?

I’d like to return to when I was just ten and tell myself that this loathsome neighbor boy would always be a part of our lives.

Loren Hale would always be one of us.
