Summary:Nathan was late for the meeting at the ferry and survived. When he wakes up from his coma he finds out that Harold has faked both of their deaths and they must rebuild their lives while saving the numbers.
Excerpt:As the weeks passed and he calmed down, he could admit that being fake dead was still better than being real dead. Harold had made the right call, and maybe Nathan would have made that call too. It made the days pass easier to believe that. Though it didn't make the nights he spent alone sitting in a stranger's loft scrolling through his son's sparse Twitter feed any easier. But the anger was fading.

Summary:A person isn't destined to be with one person. Most people have multiple soul mates, a person who you literally share a part of your brain with. A person you are connected forever, even when the connection fades.
Excerpt:When Harold brought John in, he had already been on bond suppressants for years. Ever since he had faked his death and Grace needed to think he was dead. The first few months he still felt the grief pouring out from her mind to his, muffled and distant. Some days he was tempted to ignore the orange plastic bottle on his counter just to see what she was up to, but he knew the risk was too great. Before he could get a clear thought from her the suppressants would have to completely wear off, and she would have known he was alive long before that happened.

Once to Detective Fusco, as well as to Ms. Morgan, and Detective Carter." Harold didn't quite smile but there was a playfulness in his eyes that almost made John's lips twitch up.
