Summary
There is a name that she does not remember, but whose sound echoes in the muscle memory of her ear drums and on the tip of her tongue. It's a name that bears a thousand emotions, a name she's taken in happiness and sorrow, in distress and delirium.

Summary
Nobody tells you…. what it’s like to feel the way you do the morning after, when the shock wears off and you’re confronted with the fact that she’s simply gone. It’s not sadness…its confusion and bewilderment and something you can’t put in words.

Summary
She’s always been there of course, living under his skin, in the recesses of his memory, in the subterranean vault of his heart where he locks away the most painful of all of his ghosts. But the vividness with which he sees her that night is different. Lingering after effects of the observer tech he’s just freed himself from or just the painful grief coursing through his veins. The one that he has not really allowed himself to feel up till that point. Not really. The one he’s still fighting hard to make go away. Replacing thoughts of a dead daughter with a dead wife from a different timeline.

Summary
She stares at the glass and then back at him incredulously. “How can you ask me to do this with you?”
He gives her the saddest, most heartbroken smile she's ever seen him wear. “Who else would I ask to do this with me?”
“Look”, he sighs then, “all I want to do is get drunk and miss my kid with the one person who can understand what it is I am going through, which is you, her mother. Is that too much to ask?”

Summary
Peter is hardly a believer in the rituals of mourning and remembrance. The dead were simply that, dead. And nothing could bring them back, despite whatever his father’s unique penchant for reanimation may show evidence of.
But whenever he is in Boston, regardless of what he is doing, or what he is usually running away from, the compulsion to come here is magnetic, a pull he is never able to resist.
