Summary
As TK and Carlos embrace parenthood together, moving into a new house coincides with the second anniversary of Gabriel’s death, and both Carlos and Jonah are struggling with their sleep. But there’s another second anniversary coming up – and one sleepless night, Carlos finds inspiration through Jonah for how to celebrate two years married to TK.
Carlos stands still, shakes his head.
“Carlos?”
“I get it,” Carlos says, smiling as his eyes well with tears, silvery in the low winter sunlight. “I’m the one who needed to get it. It was me.”
“Get what?” TK looks at him quizzically. “Baby?”
Carlos lets out a breathy laugh, gazes back at him with wonder as a tear slips down his cheek.
“Baby–” TK brushes the tear away with his thumb and keeps his hand on Carlos’ cheek. “What did you need to get?”
Carlos takes a deep breath, leans into TK’s hand. “Where all this love comes from,” he says.
TK chuckles. “What do you mean?”
“Baby. I want us to adopt Jonah. I’m ready.” -

Summary
Carlos Reyes is being swallowed by the sun; or, at least, that’s how it feels when he looks at TK Strand. Even though night has cloaked the sky, Carlos took one look at those twin sage eyes and knew then and there he’d found the light of his life.
At first, the realization scared him; knowing that a man he’d just met had that kind of power, that much power over him. He stood there, transfixed by the curl of TK’s lips as he smiled, beaming with pride as he and his father shared an unspoken confirmation after the chaos of the crash.
TK looked over, and though it was brief, it was enough. It was enough for Carlos to know that his other half was no longer locked away between scriptures and confession, but standing right in front of him. Tangible, real and blinding him with a light that rivaled the gates of Heaven.

Summary
TK swoons when he discovers a sentimental scrapbook full of notes he and Carlos have left for each other – but he also finds a book of poems that closeted teen-Carlos wrote about his struggles, including a few dedicated to his high school crush. An adorably mortified Carlos recalls the stir he caused when he was published anonymously in the high school paper, and everything he went through to write his wedding vows for TK years later. With TK as a hype-man, maybe Carlos can embrace his creative side again.
“The third time we hooked up, I asked if you wanted tea and cookies. You looked at me like I was so weird.”
TK’s exhausted face breaks into a dazzling grin. “You were being such a Boy Scout.”
“Then you said yes and ate half the cookie jar.”
“You called me the Cookie Monster.”
“That was the first time I really made you laugh.”
“Tea came out my nose.”
“It was beautiful.” Carlos pauses then to qualify: “Your laugh.”
TK gazes up at him. “I can’t believe you remember that.”
“The first time you made me laugh was when we were dancing at the honky-tonk.”
“Hey!” TK swats his arm. “I was trying my best!”
“You were so goofy,” Carlos chides. “I just loved it. I loved you.” -

Summary
"The worst pain in the world is losing someone you love.
The second worst pain in the world? Watching the person you love lose someone, and being all too familiar with the feeling. Knowing that every second, every breath feels like walking through hell and back with a hundred-pound weight on their shoulders, and not being able to do a damn thing about it.
Pain is familiar to TK. Hard to feel, easy to understand – pain is knowing just how much Carlos is hurting.
Fear is recognizing that his hurt is different."
-
TK knows what it's like to lose someone. He's been exactly where Carlos is now, but standing on the sidelines of grief proves to be harder than he could have ever imagined.
Or, 5 moments before the wedding and 1 moment after.

Summary
“Hey, baby,” TK whispers, soft enough that were they a few inches further apart Carlos might not be able to hear him. “Sorry. Didn’t mean to make you cry.”
Carlos’s lips curve into a small responding smile and he shakes his head. “It’s okay.”
He tilts his chin forward, asking for a kiss, that TK gives him readily because he thinks it would hurt like having a limb ripped off if he didn’t. Carlos’s lips are smooth and damp against his, wet with the salt from his tears.
“Wanna go for a walk?” TK asks when they part, and Carlos quickly nods.

Summary
“No llores, nieto,” Carlos’ abuelo tells him during the wake of his abuela's funeral.
His abuelo crouches down, his joints cracking and popping as he stoops to Carlos’ eye level. He raises a calloused thumb and wipes away the tears that are still falling from Carlos’ wide brown eyes.
“Men like us,” His abuelo continues, his words casting a wide net. “We don’t let the world pity us, we can’t let them see us as soft.”
Carlos nods, wiping away any new tears that are starting to fall. The right sleeve of his charcoal gray suit now comes away colored a staunch black where Carlos’ tears have dampened it.
For some reason, the way his abuelo says ‘soft’ ricochets off of Carlos, as if it were stone and Carlos is a thin sheet of glass nestled into a window pane. It’s left a dent, an imprint, an impression, but hasn’t done enough damage to cause a crack.
Carlos’ bloodshot eyes shine with hesitation as he asks, voice small and insecure, “Reyes men don’t cry?
“Reyes men don’t cry,” His abuelo confirms.

Summary
Six months after Gabriel Reyes’ death, TK grows concerned about Carlos’ drinking and brings him to a meeting at the Y. Afterwards, over omelets at the diner, the husbands open up to each other. TK reflects on meeting Carlos after years of addiction and self-destruction, while Carlos has continued to seek closure by uncovering two unknowns: The identity of his father’s killer, and how his father truly felt about Carlos as his son.
A single tear slips from Carlos' eye. Years ago, there was a young man in New York City called TK Strand and he had no idea that in Austin, Texas, a stranger called Carlos Reyes was aching, yearning, pining for exactly him. He had no idea how loved he was going to be by someone he had yet to meet. He had no idea how wonderful he was as a person with or without a partner – but he was about to find out. That's why you have to keep living, Carlos thinks, so you can find out.

Summary
Sparks and splashes fly when TK and Carlos each take up swimming while they recover from workplace injuries.
****
Carlos touches the shallow end of the pool and stops, allowing himself the time to look back. Appearing slightly fuzzy and gleaming through Carlos’ goggles, TK sits on the edge at the deep end, palms splayed flat on the tiles, legs dangling in the water and kicking softly. He raises a hand, waving to beckon Carlos back. There’s something so sweet about the gesture, Carlos’ stomach flutters. He has to stop himself from smiling as he swims towards TK. He peers through his goggles at the sharpening sight of TK’s feet under the water, the way he moves them in a circular motion. Carlos keeps his head under and grabs TK’s foot playfully. TK howls, elated.
“I knew you were going to do that, and it still scared me,” TK says, his voice squeaky through his rolling laughter.
Suddenly it feels to Carlos like he’s known TK forever – like they’re best friends from school days, kids at play.
TK kicks up, splashing water over Carlos’ shoulder. There’s a hunger in his eyes that Carlos tries to mirror. They hold it for a few seconds before they have to look away.
