    Summary

    Owen has always been good at separating things. Before and afters. All separate. Even his brother. Well, brothers. That was why Owen hadn’t talked about Robert yet. Why TK didn’t know everything. Yet. He planned to tell him. He did. When the time was right. He had no way of knowing a ceiling would come down on him and TK on a call, forcing all the things in his life to suddenly come together. In every way. No longer separate.

    Summary

    All the conversations we didn't see from Season 3.

    There are days when he can’t remember how they got from there to here. And there are days when it’s all he can remember.

    They’d been good. Solid. And then there was the fire. But they’d made it through that. They’d held on to each other and they’d been good.

    And then it had fallen apart. And that’s the part that he doesn’t understand. The part that he can’t get past, whatever he tells Marjan or anyone else. The part that he thinks about at night, lying alone in a bed he thought he’d share with TK.

    Summary

    When you stop breathing, it gets very hard to believe you can start again.
    Time and space and sight narrows, distorts, and Carlos feels like a pinprick or a flea. He feels utterly, suffocatingly alone. He feels trapped. He grips the steering wheel desperately, tries to breathe, just breathe--
    Breathe. Breathe, breathe.
    His phone is in his hand. He doesn’t remember how it got there. There’s a droplet on the screen, probably a tear. He notices that he’s brought TK’s contact up.
    How are you feeling? Carlos types. It takes him a moment to get it right because every time he tries to fix his typos his shaking hands betray him again.
    TK is online in an instant. Same as ten minutes ago bb
    Carlos laughs reading it, and that’s a very bad idea. All the snot and nothingness in his throat tangles together and leaves him choking.
    And yet, rereading it, he thinks it’s helped. This is a little piece of evidence of TK.

    ---

    3 times Carlos had a panic attack, and 1 time TK was there for him.

    Summary

    “He’s insisting that it’s definitely just a cold,” TK says, dropping backwards on the couch, holding the phone to his ear. He scrubs his other hand over his face and sighs.
    “And what do you think?”
    “I don’t know, it’s just…I can’t shake this feeling that it’s more than that,” TK replies. “It’s been a week, he got better for a couple of days but then he started getting worse.”

    *

    It happens so quickly. An accident during a call has Carlos diving into a lake in the middle of the night. TK takes care of him in the aftermath, but they get thrown a curveball during the officer’s recovery.
