    Summary

    His skin feels too tight over his body; like his heart is being pulled forward, like it could burst through his sternum.

    “What are you doing?” he breathes, barely audible. The words feel like they’re coming from somewhere else.

    “Being brave,” Caleb replies.

    *

    On the eve of Trent’s trial, Caleb calls Essek and asks for a distraction. He doesn’t specify what kind. Essek has always been good at seeing possibilities.

    Summary

    Piercing blue eyes met him so intently he couldn’t help but blink, even with a cat as barrier. “We had this conversation, when you decided to keep this baby, and again when the morning sickness started, and you told me you did not think you were ready, but you wanted to be. I told you how much family means to me, and you laughed and commented on Veth and Luc, and we both agreed to prove there is no venom in our veins and we can raise a child with love as tonic.”

    The cats both complained as Caleb leant up on his knees and kissed his partner. “I do not doubt you. Trust in me.”

    Essek nodded reluctantly. “I do.”

    Summary

    “Caleb,” Essek asks in an undertone, as they walk away from one window, its festive display festooned in so many colorful sparkling lights that the very sight makes Essek’s eyes water, “if there is something you want to buy, then why not just buy it?”

    “Too expensive,” Caleb demurs, the denial so prompt it cannot be anything but reflexive. “Besides, I don't need it.”

    Summary

    It is Heart's Eve—the eve of the Day of Heart and Hearth, candles twinkling through snowy windowpanes and song drifting in the streets—and Essek arrives unexpectedly, with no emergency (no gaping wound; no narrow escape; no half-formed fears).

    He hasn't done that before.
