Quaid supports a traumatised Aslan while handling an acerbic new partner and difficult cases. Aslan is *really* going through it, and my heart hurts so much for him. His journey through PTSD is handled realistically. The moments where Quaid goes out of his comfort zone to support and care for Aslan are so good. Aslan has always been the one to reassure Quaid, and Quaid now shows that he is also the best boyfriend ever. 

I loved the little but obvious ways they say 'I love you' to each other. Their relationship growth is just ten thousand kinds of wonderful, reaching a deep, settled but passionate kind of love. The case is on the tame side but I liked it fine, and the side charas are fun (Torin +Ruiz ftw). Oscar the kitten is adorbs! And *the ending*! 😱😍
