Summary
"I have to do it right," is what he tells him. The compulsion is a habit now, the rhythms familiar as the ceremony of Sunday Mass to George. He fears that if he doesn't do something that it will upset the cosmic balance, prove an insult to the memory of this poor child, that God will mark his inaction as a failure. That George, when he is dead, will be made to look at the list of people he refused to help and answer for it. Toye visibly fights against some emotion: disgust or fear or maybe even worry, before giving up and exhaling a long, shaky breath.
"You get two minutes," he says, and surprises Luz by not retreating completely outside. Steady, even here, in this murky space between the living and the dead. He crosses his arms and waits. George gently rests his hand on the jutting ankle bone and prays in fumbling Latin, adding a phrase he remembers from his grandmother at the end: Lord, please grant us the solace of your peace when our trials are over.

Summary
"My entire job is asking questions I don't I like," he replied, mostly to be a smart ass and watch Sid roll his eyes. "Hasn't put me out of work yet."
"Oh, I bet those sad wives with cheating husbands love you," Sid remarked, straightening up and taking a drag. "Real charmer as usual, Lucky."
"They don't pay me for my bedside manner, Doc," he replied, trying not to enjoy the small petty thrill he got at watching Sid grimace at the nickname. "But I'll take note of your feedback."
"Oh, fuck off."
"Sure, once the job is done," he said.

Summary
His stomach turns over, that anticipatory swoop he only seems to have around him, which excites and upsets him in equal turn. It's just Leckie, he reminds himself, who can't ever shut up, who wears his heart on his sleeve. Leckie with his clever mouth and his clever hands, looking at Sid like he knows what he wants, but Sid doesn't, he's helplessly caught in the undertow. And he doesn't think he'll be able to swim to the surface.

Summary
It's a deep, cold winter night when, in the middle of telling Rich about the time he lost his first tooth during a baseball game—because Jimmy Cappellini couldn't fuckin' aim—Rich chuckles and rests his hand on Benny's knee. His laugh is a muffled sound because of lights out, but his palm is broad and warm, the warmest thing Benny's had in months. Hot like a match flame, but burning longer after he removes it and they stop for the night, and Benny crawls into bed and falls asleep. Still there, like a lighthouse beacon, like a flare. Red on the inside of his eyelids and on the inside of his chest. Vermilion as a P-51's tail.

Summary
He looks pretty small, burdened with all his gear, and Bill feels a bit like he did when he hauled him to safety back at Brecourt, the two of them folded up and crouched low to avoid enemy fire, his pulse rabbit-fast under Bill's hand. His breath had been hot on Bill's neck, his body crammed up where it didn't belong, but he had been strangely unwilling to let Hall go when the all clear had been given.
A friendly chat before Operation Market Garden.
