    Summary

    Back home in London, James and Francis live together in chaste intimacy. Wanting more than brotherhood, James takes Francis to visit one of his old haunts.

     

    James kissed Francis in the mornings, suggested they take a stroll. Kissed him delicately, entirely chastely, on the tip of the nose. This was the only intimacy allowed: but James was subtle, with intimacies: he knew how to solidify them, stretch them out, make them last.
