Summary
Nicolò should set up the rifle right now, make the shot, and be out of the country by lunchtime. He shouldn’t care that Joe’s eyes are a warm, deep brown, or that when he smiles the entire room lights up around him. Nico has killed beautiful people before, many of them, without blinking.
Instead he makes a monumentally stupid decision.
"My bad pickup line worked on you,” Joe says later at dinner. “I saw your sneer and I thought, oh, I must get that man to agree to a date with me.”
Nico snorts. “And despite my better judgement, here we are.”
“Oh,” Joe says, and over to touch Nico’s fingers. “I think your judgement was quite good, don’t you?”
Or: Nico has a job, and that job is Joe. He just can't for the life of him figure out why anyone would want an unassuming museum curator and art restorer dead.
