Summary
Cornelius’ mouth was hot, and tasted of breath mints. He used those to cover up a multitude of sins— cigarette smoke, and worse.
(Or: Billy and Cornelius have an understanding, where extramarital amusements are concerned.)

Summary
Feeling disobedient and reckless, Sol hit the call button. After barely a single ring, Cornelius picked up.
“To what do I owe the pleasure?” said Cornelius. Despite the admonishing tone of his text, he didn’t sound cross, so Sol figured he was good to go ahead.
“You’re so full of shit,” he said, skipping the pleasantries. “As if you don’t love the threat of getting caught.”

Summary
Billy and Cornelius did not meet under the best of circumstances, and neither of them had been their best selves yet. For one thing, Billy had still identified as a man, though without much conviction. Cornelius, meanwhile, had been working a rotating range of mostly-legal odd jobs, all of which he hated.
They had met in a club in London. Cornelius had found his attention repeatedly drawn to the delicate wrists and distinguished cheekbones of one specific person drinking at the bar. But he had more urgent priorities that night. So he had given this long-limbed, flat-arsed stranger a discerning glance, and decided to try and lift his wallet. He was a bit out of practice, but it was right there, in his back pocket, and he needed the cash.
(This is the real and indisputably true story of how Billy Gibson and Cornelius Hickey fell in love.)

Summary
It took a few rings for Tozer to pick up. “Hello?” he said a little gruffly. “Who’s this?”
“It’s Billy Gibson,” Billy said, heart pounding so hard they could feel it in the back of their throat. They prayed Tozer wouldn’t just hang up on them immediately. “You know, Cornelius’ husband?”
“I know who you are,” Tozer said. “What do you want?”
Billy winced, and ran a hand through their hair. They hadn’t really planned this far ahead. “I don’t know, I just figured maybe we should talk.”
