August, 1989
"Missouri? You're sending me to Missouri?" Hal repeats. He can't have heard right. She can't really mean it, can she?
"I bet you can't even find it on a map." Jack comments.
"I can too, Jackass-"
"Harold. You're going, and that's final. Have your bags packed for Saturday morning. And for the love of God, don't take that jacket with you." Jessica Jordan says, turning away from her second child and effectively ending the conversation.

Two Heartbeats on One Page
Jordan's in love with two people (who are in love with each other), he hasn't spoken to his parents in five years, and despite working almost sixty hours a week, he's still ages away from having enough to pay for the three surgeries he needs to complete his gender confirmation. This would be a problem anywhere, but particularly so in small-town, homophobic Arizona. He needs a vacation. Darcey's been discharged from the Army after knowing nothing else for eight years, he's unemployed, and, at twenty-seven years old, he has no choice but to move back in with his parents. Since his discharge was dishonorable, he doesn't even have health insurance to treat his PTSD. He just needs some time to get back on his feet and reconnect with his family. Instead, they find each other. When Jordan takes Darcey home from a party, they mean it to be a one-night stand, but they turn out to be too compatible to want to give each other up. Neither wants a relationship, but a straightforward, no-strings-attached friends-with-benefits setup will keep things nice and neat, right? Nope. Instead, everything gets messier.
