   Summary

   After leaving the navy, Simon takes a job at a school hoping for something quiet.

   Instead, he finds Dr. Ryland Grace, an injured stray cat, and the unsettling realization that maybe being cared for isn't as frightening as it used to be.
   And soon he realizes how important Grace actually is to him.
