Why this must be read: Because it’s the best kind of hurt/comfort. Hutch is hurt, out of hospital and not really coping, so he needs help and comfort, but what he’s got is Starsky. Jo has a deceptively light touch with these two. A little bit of humour, a gentle lyricism that gets under the characters’ skins, and a perfectly adequate dose of hurt and comfort. I love a hurt and irritable Hutch, and she writes his POV beautifully.
Hutch stared at him. Never in his life had he known Starsky bring calm into a room. Doors shuddered on their hinges when he arrived. Atmospheres vibrated after a collective sharp intake of breath. Starsky always upped the tempo because... well, upping the tempo was what he did best.
Or have I been getting you all wrong, all this time?
Hutch was overwhelmed by his circumstances. Overwhelmed by being given just what he needed, at the moment he needed it most, when he hadn't even realised he needed it and when it was the last thing he expected. He pitched forward, wrapping his arms around Starsky's neck, falling into him with all his weight, hugging as hard as his protesting body allowed. At that moment he knew no other way to express his gratitude. Starsky just took the weight and hugged him back. Then he pushed him gently into an upright position.
"Rough day, huh?" he said.
