Summary
If you asked Porsche what it was to be the head of the minor family, he'd call it tiring.
For the first few weeks, he thinks it won't always be a blur of names, faces, and numbers. The dogs in town may have barked for Gun, but everyone in Bangkok understands that Korn is the kennel master. When he asks his contacts to come meet his nephew (Porsche hates being called that), they come. Soon, Porsche thinks, he’ll have finally run out of fat old men with thumb rings, and Porsche can start getting them straight in his head, but finally never seems to come. Korn is really fucking connected.
Kinn sits at the head of the long table, but it's at Korn's elbow that Porsche starts to learn. The old man ran guns and drugs for decades before becoming a professorial grandfather living above the clouds. He has a way of making the numbers seem easy.
(And if it's easier for Porsche to accept his authority than it is to admit that Kinn is a little more equal than him, well. No one asks Porsche to say that out loud.)
Or: Big lives. Somehow this makes life much worse and much better for Porsche.

Summary
To say that Big wakes up would be a strong overstatement of what happens. He’s mostly dead, and then he’s slightly less dead and can open his eyes sometimes, and then he’s only half-dead.
The few weeks he’s half-dead would probably be the worst, if Big had any recollection of them after he gets out of the hospital. He knows that he asks over and over where Ken is, and every time the staff tell him, and every time a little piece of him dies.
And then he goes back to sleep, and like a goldfish he forgets and they do it all again. It happens so many times it sticks with him even though practically nothing else from half-dead does.
And then suddenly, he’s not half-dead. He’s mostly alive. His brain gets its shit together and he can operate his arms and legs, and speak, if a little slurringly. He regains episodic memory and is profoundly embarrassed that he’s been told upwards of thirty times that Ken is dead. In all that, he never asked after Khun Kinn.
Or:
Big lives. This changes less than one might think.

Summary
Kip blinked. “You’re Ilya Rosanov,” he informed him.
“Yes,” he agreed. “You are Scott’s boyfriend, yes?”
“Yes.” Ilya gave a slight raise of his eyebrow, and Kip realized that he had answered the door shirtless and covered in flour.
“I do not remember your name,” Ilya continued, when it became clear that he wasn’t going to respond.
“It’s Kip.”
“Kip?” Ilya asked, his face scrunching up. “This is a weird name.”

Summary
“When are you going to invite me to stay?”
Shane coughed. “I don’t know. I’ve been pretty busy with, uh… the charity, and the camp, and all the planning. It hasn’t been very relaxing.” It wasn’t a total lie. He had been working on the charity with Ilya and with his mom, and he was keeping pretty busy. It just wasn’t all work that he was busy with. A lot of it was he and Ilya making up for lost time, putting the shower pressure to good use, losing their clothes in every room and making a game out of finding them when it was time to do laundry. They had a score sheet. Shane was winning.
Rose seemed to accept that excuse, and she talked for a little bit longer until Shane maneuvered his way off the call. Then, and only then, did he turn to look at Ilya. “Sorry about that,” he said, but Ilya only shrugged.
“Is fine.” He put down his glass of water. “You should do it.”
Shane was distracted by the way Ilya reached around his waist to pull food out of the pan and put it, still hot, into his mouth. After a beat too long, he asked, “Do what?”
“Invite Rose Landry to the cottage,” Ilya said, like it was no big deal.
