Summary
Scruffy beard, glasses, hair in disarray. He's in a simple button-down and jeans, no place to hide any meaningful weapons, and faces away from Driver—exposes his vulnerable side, forgoes line of sight—to crouch in front of two boys who have been so silent he only now notices.
“C'mere,” the man mutters. He hoists one of them up and into his arms. The boy rests his cheek on the man's shoulder with a quiet sniffle, eyes squeezed shut. His small hands wrap around the man's nape in a death grip. He has a SpongeBob-patterned bandaid on his nose bridge.
The other boy grips onto the man's shirt hem with just as much vigor, though his eyes are wide open. He looks up at Driver with pointed eyes, clear and devastatingly full of suspicion.
They look at each other for half a moment of contemplative quiet.
Then, softly, “What floor?” Driver asks.
The elevator door closes.

Driver moves to the new apartment. Instead of Irene, his neighbor is kind teacher Ryland Grace with two twin younger brothers he's taking care of.

Summary
"I'll keep you updated. In the meantime, go back to sleep. When you need to worry, I'll tell you."
"Heh." Ryland ran his hand down his face. "It's terrible you know that it actually makes me feel better. What would I do without you?"
"Explode at a colleague at a conference and get expelled from academia and become a middle school teacher." Eva said, promptly.
"Wow, you've thought about that way too hard." Ryland laughed. "Middle schoolers might not vape in class, though. Maybe I should switch."
"Let's not joke."

Summary
It’s been nearly 27 years since Eva Stratt forced Ryland Grace to board the Hail Mary and sent him off to his death for the greater good of mankind. Meanwhile, Eva and the Project Hail Mary team have been fighting a losing battle against the cooling sun—and their own demons—trying to make sure there were still people to be saved by the time the crew could send a solution home. Right on schedule, the beetles are returning to Earth, hopefully with the answer to saving the world. But Eva has something else to worry about; there’s every possibility Ryland Grace’s last words would be coming home, and all the time in the world couldn’t make her ready to face the consequences of her actions, or what will happen when her colleagues find out what she did to their friend.
It was time to find out if it was worth it for her to sacrifice Grace, and her soul, to save humanity. And to find out if she was ready to face him after all these years…- Language:

Summary
The truth is, loving Clark Kent comes as naturally as breathing. But love as a feeling and love as an action are two very different things, and they must live in equilibrium to be sustained, yielding to one another. It’s too bad Lex loves like a starved dog, like a junkie chasing the next high. Love, hate, whatever - it’s all obsession, with him. All feeling, and crossed fingers that action will bloom from it.
Lex Luthor, his ugly desires, his rotten heart, and his penchant for ruining everything.

Summary
Clark gazes out through the kitchen window, up at the sun, expecting it to look different—perhaps red and angry, or bubbling like a pot of water, or maybe even covered in spots—but it’s the same as it’s always been. He finishes his breakfast, rinses his bowl, zips through his chores, and goes to consult the second weirdest kid in town.
Lex is down at the creek, kneeling in the mud and working on something with a lot of wires. It’s his favorite place to run tests because there’s a lot of water around in case things go wrong. Not too far away, Lena sits on a blanket and slaps her tiny hands into the mud.
“The sun is loud today,” reports Clark.
