Summary
“… There is another tradition on New Year’s Eve, one I’m sure you are familiar with. It is said to bring good fortune and strengthen existing ties between two people.”
Will swallows. Now his throat is feeling dry.
“And missing out forecasts a year of loneliness.” They regard each other in a moment of shared clarity and fear. Loneliness is an intimate acquaintance of them both. Will offers no protest as Hannibal teases the champagne flute from his fingers. A soft thumb glides over his knuckles, fingertips grazing his palm.
The time: 23:50 on New Year's Eve.
The location: Will's boat, anchored just off the coast of Havana.
The question: as a percentage, if you had to make your New Year's resolution to Hannibal Lecter, how much more likely would you be to keep it?
