Summary
“Try not to die again,” Yusuf says wearily before reaching to bring a handful of water to his lips. He closes his eyes as he sips at it, and Nicolò's gaze catches on a drop of water as it slips from his lips, drips through his beard, and runs a clean line through the grime on his skin. His throat bobs as he swallows and Nicolò’s mouth goes as dry as it was before he took a sip of water.
“Sorry,” he manages. “Thank you.”
Yusuf turns to him, staring, his hands still cupped to his lips. The rippled water reflects in his dark eyes.
“That’s the first time you’ve said that to me,” he says.

Summary
Again, they woke in the early hours of the morning to her absence. Again, they knew where she would be. Again, Yusuf sat on the edge of the bed and hid his head in his hands, disguising tears, and again, Nico pulled on a cloak and braved the perpetual rain to go to her. To bring her back and hopefully warm her up before the cold took her, if she wasn’t drowned already.
A year without Quỳnh, and Andromache is trying to die.
