    Summary

    Maybe she was just answering an ancient call, one that every Addams had answered before her. Maybe it all hurt so much because her dislocated heart had to be fixed the old fashioned way, the way Grandmama would have fixed it, with a firm grip and a harsh wrench and twist. Maybe she just overthought everything when it came to Enid. She was categorically not thinking now.

    Summary

    The scar was Kate's reminder that she was a murderer.

    That even though the news and the cops and her therapist didn't have the guts to come out and say it, she had led three people she loved to their deaths. It was penance. Tyler touching her there... Maybe it reminded her that she'd probably kill him too.

    So yeah. It was a good thing that she was having this little episode by herself.

    (Kate's scar is acting up for the first time in a while. Tyler helps her through it.)

    Summary

    If all he had were these moments, slow and steady touches and looks in crowded rooms where nothing could be mistaken as anything else, he thinks he could live off them. He might be emaciated at the end of the day, starving for what’s not being said—but as long as Syd throws him a bone, he’ll return to her.

    or, Sydney and Carmy attend four weddings.

    Summary

    "The Tuesday after she gave him the shirt back and he ruined her life with a scarf, things are suspiciously fine. Good, even. Service is smooth, dishes go out on time, there’s barely a raised voice in the kitchen. At one point Carmy puts his hand on her back to get past her and she doesn’t even react. Her self-control needs to be studied in history books. "

    (Or as Virginia Woolf said, "Yes yes yes I do like you. I am afraid to write the stronger word.")

    Summary

    Ray meets his daughter somewhere between East Berlin, 1962, and Memphis in 1954. He’s never been to Memphis yet. He’ll meet Elvis there in a few days. First, he meets Ruth. And just as quickly, he forgets her.

    Ray’s daughter shows up in the kitchen. The main problem with that is that she hasn’t been born yet. There are rainbow goldfish and magic donuts and it’s possible she was nicknamed after a fictional kangaroo. Sara and Nate pelt each other with almonds. Ray just thinks Nora is really pretty, that’s all.

    Ruth is like magic. She’s bright and happy and she likes goldfish and her hair clips have stars on them. She smiles and it’s like nothing bad can happen. She has a little brother who loves dinosaurs. She’s his.

    His and Nora’s. He’s going to marry Nora.
