    Summary

    ”What’s the point of painting someone like this?”

    “What do you mean, beloved?”

    ”She looks like she’s chewing a wasp.”

    “And? What is wrong with that?”

    “It’s unflattering. Unrefined. You’d wonder why he didn’t tell her to, you know, perk up a bit.”

    Armand stifles a laugh with his hand. Daniel glances over at him, and can’t help softly smiling. Preening. He likes that it amuses Armand when he behaves like a philistine.

    ”I still fail to see the problem. There is something to be said for preserving someone in the imperfect stages.”

    Armand can look so tender when he smiles, sometimes. Butter really wouldn’t melt, when he gives Daniel that shy look from under his eyelashes, like they both don’t know what he’s thinking.

    Daniel and Armand, John Singer Sargent, museum visits, companionship, and talking through metaphors.

    Summary

    Facing down the press junket for his book, Daniel Molloy is prepared to hype up his hit novel. He's less prepared to have Armand crash the tour to play bodyguard and doting assistant and he's definitely not ready to have his secrets spilled on a world stage because Armand wants to play games.

    The longer he sticks around to torment Daniel as he chases him across the country, the longer he stays. So, who's really winning this game?

    Summary

    “You’re overthinking it, Mr Molloy. It’s just a transaction. We both know why we are here. And we’re both adults.”

    “Except it’s not just a transaction for me. Christ... It’s a pathetic cry of an old, bitter man. I look at you and all I see is how far I’ve fallen. This is low, even for me. I should be ashamed. My ex-wives would laugh at me if they knew.”

    Armand gets closer to him, unnervingly tranquil and impassive.

    “Are you? Ashamed, Mr Molloy?”

    daniel molloy, freshly divorced, sixty years old, driven to desperation by his loneliness, hires himself a prostitute for the night. things happen.

    Rashid had been driving Daniel certifiably fucking crazy.

    or:
