I am fairly certain Doctor Raines has it on her top priority list. I am fairly certain Duclose will be unable to practice after she's done with him.

Or got it delivered. Though I am not sure Warren wants Axl Fraser stopping by.

Archer wants it hidden, but he's also a father. I am picturing his sheer alarm at realizing WHO Tyler had sex with was his primary motivator, not that Tyler was gay.

Tom's so done for. Besides who wouldn't want a life-sized Space Marine in their living room?

Heresy Detected. Good Morning

Merrickville is fundamentally not equipped for a heatwave. The entire country, including the miserable, dead-end town of Merrickville, is architecturally designed to retain warmth and repel dampness. When the calendar flipped to July, exactly one year after the catastrophic, miraculous circus of my sister’s wedding, a high-pressure system parked itself directly over our county and simply refused to leave. The asphalt outside my apartment window had been slowly baking for three straight weeks, ra
