Summary
More specifically, she kept thinking about his eyes. She wasn’t sure what she’d expected to find there, but somehow, the only thing Crystal hadn’t anticipated was the thing she’d found. She’d been looking for anger. Hurt. Humiliation. Hunger. Any and/or all of the above, given how obviously Edwin wanted Charles. How obviously Edwin loved him.
And instead she’d found nothing. Boredom, almost, but more vacant. A polite sort of waiting for something to be over, so he could get on with his day and not think about it any longer.

Summary
They’ve been working it out slowly in the two months since that awful night—it being something romantic, something that’s quite frankly more than dating, yet not all that different in shape from what existed before.
Point is, as much as Charles loves Crystal, a little time just for him and Edwin had sounded…nice. And probably needed. Except now she won’t be back until Thursday.
Which is fine. Totally fine. No outside rescue just means that they have to save themselves, that they have to figure this out solo—the two of them against the world, just like old times.
Nothing ever went wrong back then.
***
In which a case goes wrong, the boys have an awful time, and - for Christ's sake - there aren't enough blades around for us both to fall on our sword, Charles.
