Summary
"Are you going to go for the victory tomorrow?”
Laurent remembers with prickling clarity the exact way he’d felt his mind shift at the question. "To paint Auguste as a point of comparison appears to me a fruitless measure, especially with the intent to milk his name of pity. I continue to fight his antagonists today.”
“Do you consider Ferrari’s Damianos your brother’s antagonist, or yours?” the interviewer asks on the screen, and Laurent slams shut the computer with one cool flick of the wrist.
Three years after Damen is involved in the crash that killed Auguste, Laurent enters the racing world of Formula One.

Summary
“Is this about Damianos Akielos publishing a review on the same establishment and your unsubtle dig at his work?” Jord says beside Laurent, leaning over to join the conversation. “Why do you dislike the guy so much, anyway?”
“I was not trying to be subtle,” says Laurent. “If you are implying that I expressed my emotions clearly, then I will take that as a compliment. I don’t respect Damianos’ work because he has shit opinions on food.”
Jord raises an eyebrow.
“Oh,” Laurent says, pausing to take a sip of water, the iced liquid minnowing a sharp trail down his throat, “and he’s also my ex-fiance.”
Damen and Laurent are rival food critics. They're also ex-fiances.

Summary
It's been a year since Prince Langa smiled. The queen offers a reward to anyone who can fix that. Reki would give it a try, but he's pretty sure being the one who broke the prince's heart disqualifies him.
“You’ve been quiet. Are you jealous?”
Reki lurches up. “Jealous of what?”
Miya’s brow angles impossibly higher. “Of all the attention the prince is getting?”
Right, of course. That’s what anyone would be jealous over. “I just don’t believe it. Prince Langa isn’t…” he waves one hand, frowning, “...like that.”
“Ha,” Miya crows. “Like you’d know.”
But he does. And Reki thinks: I could do it. I could make him smile. I’ve done it before.
