“Said you don’t smoke, but you’re always watchin’ me. Wanna try?”
Randy lends himself to being fixed in a way that helps heal Benson, too.

Summary
Randy has struggled to keep his head above water for nearly four years, and when he runs into his coworker in the steam room at the public pool, everything he tried to keep down resurfaces.
None of it is Benson’s fault.
Randy was a swimmer in high school. He’s not anymore. A locker room is kind of like a closet.

Summary
Randy blinks owlishly. The image stays the same.
Long, white beard. A red hat with a little ball at the end, a rounded gut wrapped in a matching red velvet coat. He looks wrong out here, a bright stab of color on a drab background, like blood against the slushy, gray snow.
And then Santa tucks his beard under his chin and lights a cigarette.
(OR: Randy gets a job at the mall during the holidays.)

Summary
Something in Randy relaxed. The man who murdered four people in front of him had broken into his apartment, and something in Randy relaxed. He didn’t have time to think about it.
