    Summary

    “This isn’t what it looks like,” Nicky says.

    “Okay, sure,” Joe says, looking like he’s ready to bang his head against the wall. “Because it looks like you just kidnapped our neighbour’s babies, Nicolò.”

    Summary

    “He has a crush on him,” Joe says around a mouthful of carrots and points his fork at him for emphasis. To someone who once has had Joe’s scimitar rammed through his chest, it’s not exactly a terrifying gesture, but it still feels a tad more aggressive than Nicky thinks the situation warrants.
     

    (In which archaeologists make a discovery, Joe is upset, and Nicky trolls historians.)

    Summary

    He wants Yusuf to hold his hand again. Grab his ankle. Flick his ear. Thrust his sword into his chest and breath into his mouth.

    Yet, they have the long ocean of eternity ahead of them. These whims are nothing but a swell under their ship: gone as soon as they come. Nicolo knows better than to jump overboard and drown alone trying to chase them.

    Summary

    “Happy – what did you call it? Octocentenary.”

    “Do you think we’re the only two who have ever celebrated such a thing?”

    “I couldn’t say for sure. It does seem likely.” Joe reaches back behind himself for the bottle, and holds it out between them. “To us.”
