Number.PromptSentence
001.WalkEdgerton walks like a man in charge: of his mind, his body, and of everyone around him.
002.BeautyWhere Amita was soft and feminine, opinionated and steadfast, Ian was sharp and masculine, domineering and unpredictable; Charlie wondered how he could be so easily attracted to both.
003.CatchDon wondered when catching suspects had become less about justice and more about the adrenalin rush that came with the click of cuffs sliding into place.
004.SpeakSometimes, after frustrating cases, Don comes home just to relearn how to speak without giving orders.
005.Lack He scrawls equation after equation on the chalkboard, completely oblivious to anything but the numbers, and she watches him wishing she could feel confident that he looks at her with the same intensity.
006.MineCharlie is always touching Don’s stuff, and when Edgerton comes to consult on the case, the sniper is no exception.
007.LaughHearing Charlie laugh always warms and chills his father, because there were years when Charlie never laughed, and years he faked his smiles.
008.WhileOn days when no one is home and school is out for the summer, Charlie will while away the hours in the garage, breaking down his life into equations only he can understand.
009.YouthAlan and Larry like to comment on Charlie’s youth, his generation, and Charlie rolls his eyes and lets them, because someday he’ll probably believe the exact same crap.
010.StayHe didn’t say anything as Ian gathered up his clothes; Ian wouldn’t be caged willingly, even if it meant breaking Charlie’s heart.
011.FillIan had had more than his fill of red tape and bought-out bureaucrats, but damned if he was leaving this case-this hunt-just because Don was no longer in charge.
012.DistractionCharlie wonders if anything has ever broken Ian’s concentration the way Edgerton has broken his.
013.FearThe night Charlie nearly got shot, Don slept at the house and woke with every noise that sounded from his baby brother’s room.
014.CrashThe first time Charlie nearly crashed his Dad’s car, Don was in the passenger seat and his hand was steadily creeping up the inseam of Charlie’s jeans.
015.LookIan Edgerton has a look that only resistant suspects and witnesses left alone with him ever get to see.
016.BeginHis first reaction to being told he was to mentor a fourteen-year-old boy was panic.
017.SecondWork will always come first to Ian; Charlie just hopes he’ll come second.
018.VioletTerry wore a skirt with violet flowers to their date in the Laundromat, and Don always wishes he’d run his fingers underneath it when he leaned in to kiss the pizza grease from her lips.
019.CandyFor months after she died, Alan couldn’t venture down the candy aisles in stores for fear of seeing the brand of Belgian chocolate she’d hidden bars of around the house.
020.NothingIt’s days like this when Alan wishes his boys had a rabbi or someone to turn to for their answers instead of him.
021.FamiliarSome nights the criminal mind becomes too familiar, and Don can’t go to the house with Charlie because he knows what he’ll see: his family as prey, victims unaware of what’s coming.
022.ShowSometimes, teaching is as much about putting on a good show as it is imparting knowledge to future generations.
023.DayEvery day they chase false leads lowers the probability they will find victim four before he’s killed.
024.AskIan gripped the curls at the base of Charlie’s skull and whispered, “All you have to do is ask.”
025.ThinkCharlie turns to numbers when he needs to think about things that don’t hurt, and Charlie turns to Ian Edgerton when he can’t bear to think at all.
026.HairCharlie has yet to date someone who didn’t love running their fingers through his dark curls.
027.HomeDon only understood the value of home when he realized he’d abandoned his, and returned to find it broken.
028.LoudDon was quiet in bed, alert even in orgasm, and Kim always wondered why she wasn’t enough to make him lose control.
029.TravelThe first time Charlie traveled without his mother was to a math conference.
030.DamageAlthough he would love to see physical evidence of his handiwork, Ian is careful never to mark the witnesses he interrogates.
031.StrengthMeghan is surrounded by physically powerful, smart men, but what she really wants is one whose strength of character can match her own.
032.TogetherWhen Charlie and Don travel to Quantico to give a lecture, Ian almost doesn’t correct the students who think the brothers are married.
033.PushThe problem with Ian Edgerton is that he pushes as far as he thinks you can handle, and then he pushes further.
034.SafeDon knows if Charlie could read the thoughts in his head, he wouldn’t come alone to the apartment anymore.
035.PrivatePart of the problem with Charlie is that he never learned to respect Don’s privacy.
036.LightThe sun doesn’t shine on Charlie so much as it shines through him.
037.BigCharlie isn’t small-Ian’s just big.
038.WantHe’s so used to wanting what he doesn’t think he should have that he’s convinced himself he doesn’t want at all.
039.LawDon knew law school wasn’t for him because he could never win an argument with Charlie when his brother set his mind to something.
040.CanineThe canine squad found Charlie under the rubble, and Don couldn’t even be glad it wasn’t his fault that Charlie was there.
041.TruthTruthfully, Charlie knew why Edgerton baited him, but he enjoyed the attention too much to make him stop.
042.SmokeDon stopped sneaking out with Petey to smoke when Charlie took a pull from a butt they threw on the ground and threw up for the next half hour.
043.OrderHe never told Don why he retreated to numbers when things got crazy, but he liked to think his brother understood, even if he didn’t like it.
044.Feel“Edgerton has soft skin,” Don thinks with surprise the night he graduates.
045.FinishWhen his mom was sick, Charlie thought solving p vs. np would fix everything.
046.ThroughAlan didn’t know how to get through to his son that this Agent Edgerton wasn’t good for him at all.
047.RaceIt’s always a race against time, and Don hates that it isn’t the strongest or the fastest or the best man who wins, but the sociopath with a victim and a gun.
048.NeedHis body and breath were trembling, and he whispered “Please”; Ian whispered, “No.”
049.Splash“You gotta learn sometime,” Don said, and tossed his baby brother into the pool.
050.ThrillIt’s like the days with Coop, catching the perp when he thought he was home free, but so much better, because he shouldn’t have Charlie at all, and he does, and he’s happy.
