    Summary

    “You accused me of treating this like a game. I am sorry if I’ve led you to believe that it is only a game—though I won't deny that part of it is.” Bren gives a disarming smile. “My life is either games or murder, after all.”
    “Or mail fraud,” Thelyss says dryly, not even a little disarmed.
    “The mail fraud is a sort of game as well.”
    A sigh. “Is this your way of telling me that you intend to continue playing?”
    Bren smiles again, sharper. “If you would let me.”

    (In which Bren Aldric Ermendrud decides to seduce the Shadowhand and finds that the best way to convince someone to be vulnerable with you is to be vulnerable in turn.)

    Summary

    “Hey, newbie.”

    Clark glances at her from halfway turned in his chair and nudges his glasses up the bridge of his nose. “I have a name, you know.”

    Lois stops her quick clip to the metro-side exit and looks right at him. “Hey, Clark Kent,” she over-pronounces, and raises her slim brows with a challenging twitch. “Quit clocking in early. If the train schedule manages to spit you out on time, you kill the remainder buying doughnuts for the floor like a sane person. Alright? Perry hates sloppy shit like that.”

    Clark blinks. “Noted.”

    Summary

    "Being obliging is not enough to guarantee your success, Miss Walker. My daughter is an invalid. She cannot walk, as you see, and she requires the use of a Bath chair to move about the house and grounds. She has the help of two lady’s maids, of course, but still, her companion must push the chair, fetch her things, remember her tonics, read to her when her eyes are tired, help her in and out of carriages. It is a physically taxing role, to say nothing in the social responsibility. I am away from Brookings Park for long stretches, and you will be Lady Araminta’s primary society until she marries.”
