The last weekend before exams — Duncan extracts a brand to carry them through two weeks apart, then leaves with Zach for the leather shop. Exams pass. Charlotte's done and Garrett's home. Bobby's baked something he won't name. Friday Duncan walks through the door, they run a bath, and go to bed early. One week.

Duncan comes home Tuesday night for a nine-day recalibration that includes something new from the black leather case. Thanksgiving fills Mrs. Samuels' apartment with the whole assembled family — Linc, a newborn Kelly, Molly commandeering Duncan onto the floor with her plastic animals — and Bobby's cookies earn the highest possible verdict.

The weekend after Duncan leaves, the planning begins in earnest. Zach asks to witness the ceremony over Wednesday pizza, Duncan says yes and offers him leather to wear.

Cal and Bobby come to the caretaker's cottage for breakfast — Bobby stepping outside his perimeter for the first time, the morning costing what it costs.

Toph reveals the finished prints — the pillory shot and the kneeling shot confirmed as the anchor of a January gallery show. The afternoon pivots to Games and Lanes, a surprise birthday dinner for Zach, and a circular booth full of people who have quietly become a constellation. The drive home settles the rest.

The weekend moves through inspection, Cal's cabin, and Toph's pillory shoot before arriving at its quiet center — Duncan crouching in front of Jake on the rug, a fine chain settling at his throat. A promise of the formal collar to come, when the time is right. The key goes in the junk drawer.

The second weekend home moves through its paces with quiet rightness — the river shoot at dawn with the brothers, Toph's studio in the afternoon, Sean's band at the Anchor that night with the whole family finally in one room.

Jake spends his first Saturday apart checking in with Cal, touring Cal's dungeon with Bobby — including the custom chair built around Bobby's exact measurements — and declining to sit in it without Duncan.

Duncan leaves at ten on the dot, and Jake fills the silence with cleaning, phone calls, and the quiet comfort of people showing up without being asked — Zach with a scrub brush, Ellie with champagne and stories about a four-year-old Duncan conducting meetings, his mother with a pot of something warm. The first week apart holds.

Duncan drives Jake's truck to the club — a small, deliberate act of claiming — for one last night of dancing, sequins, and a run-in with Daisy and Tyler that quietly closes a chapter. Back at the cottage, the night ends on the front room rug, slow and frantic and entirely honest, both of them finally saying it out loud.
