Summary
"As an engineer, I was taught to examine a possible problem from every angle. Overlooking anything, no matter how small, how seemingly unimportant, could lead to problems. If something were to go wrong because I missed a critical flaw in Grace’s air recycling system or the medical robot’s drug distribution doses or the fucking Taumoeba breeder tanks again, that would be its blood on my already stained hands. I can’t allow it to die on my watch like I did so many others."
Or: As the Hail Mary gets closer to Erid and Grace's condition begins to worsen, Rocky tries his best to suppress more than 46 years of trauma in order to focus on keeping Grace alive. This doesn't go well.

Summary
Jackson Healy is not a family man, nor is he a relationship man. He learned that one the hard way after the divorce.
So, can someone tell him why he’s standing at the cash register of a dollar store, watching Holland March fiddle with his wallet with a giant poster board under his armpit, while a pile of markers of all colors and stationery sits on the conveyor belt? Though he supposes that’s another one of life’s great mysteries, and something he’ll wake up every morning asking himself.

Summary
March had his palm read once, years back, by a hack psychic in a gaudy tent at some old timey carnival Holly had begged to go to. She'd taken one look at his craggy hands – two fingers bandaged at the time - and told him, in no uncertain terms, that if he didn't slow down, boy, he was gonna hurt himself. He tipped her very badly.
Suffice to say, he did not often have the appearance of a man in control of his own destiny.

Summary
Jackson wants to pick her up and hold her in the palm of his hands, tuck her into his pocket. He wants to wrap her up in that afghan and staple it to the couch so she can never leave. He wants to find the asshole who let her into that bar and knock their teeth clean out of their mouth and present her the molars as jewelry so she knows justice has been done. He wants to find the dead man walking that touched her drink-
He sits next to the couch, his back to Holly. Faces the door.
or: Holly gets into trouble. She doesn't go home.

Summary
A few weeks after starting the Nice Guys agency March gets drunk, Healy gets a strange inkling, and Holly watches The Parent Trap.
Not for the first time, Jackson wonders why he agreed to this partnership. But there’s something he can’t quite put his finger on, something about the soft, hapless, helpless way March loves his daughter and knows what a screwup he is, that makes something funny happen inside Jackson’s chest. He hasn’t eaten yet today but it feels almost like his stomach is twisting, like he’s about to do something stupid and completely out of his own control even though Jackson Healy has always prided himself on how well he keeps himself under control.
Not food poisoning, Jackson thinks. March poisoning.
