    Summary

    The path along the lakeshore was peaceful. The water barely moved, like a liquid mirror reflecting the starry sky and the full moon in all its glory. The air was cold, but inside, Thomas still carried the warmth of the wine, the picnic, Vincent’s presence.

    And then, without warning, he heard the dull thud of the basket falling onto the sand.

    "Vincent?" he asked, turning around in confusion.

    But what he saw left him frozen.

    or: Thomas and Vincent retreat to a small Argentinian town to find the peace they long for and each other’s company, even under God’s watchful eye.

    Summary

    The day Vincent moved, they spent the evening putting together Ikea furniture while listening to Latin music, and laughing at how difficult it is for two grown adults with PhDs to assemble a couch. When everything was set up, Vincent opened a bottle of wine that had been gifted to him after the election, and they spent several hours discussing the romantic implications of Gilgamesh’s quest for immortality after the death of Enkidu.

    Summary

    Professor Lawrence has enough to deal with, between handling conference business and setting up voting panels for the organisation's new president. He doesn't need any scandals, and he doesn't need a new, unknown senior member cropping up out of nowhere. Nevertheless, this is what he gets.
