Summary
“Are you alright?” Bellini gripped Lawrence’s elbow to stop him from going any further, his eyes wide with concern.
Lawrence was not alright. Lawrence wished that God would strike him down right there and end his suffering. The pain behind his eyes was unbearable, and he guessed that he only had a few minutes of composure left before he would no longer be able to speak in coherent sentences. Every sound and smell within the Basilica caused his head to throb violently, and he needed nothing more than to escape to a dark room. “Of course I am.”
Bellini reluctantly let go of his elbow. “Are you lying to me?”
“I wouldn’t lie to you.” God, forgive me, thought Lawrence. He would confess his sins tomorrow, but today, he could not be the reason that Aldo worried. He knew he had caused the man enough trouble during the Conclave, as well as a lifetime of worrying throughout their entire friendship.
Or: Lawrence can no longer ignore the migraine that had been building throughout the Conclave, and Bellini worries about him.

Summary
Two men, balancing on the edge of a normal life, as much as they dare to pretend—until they can’t.
2010s: 2011, to be exact, the final month of a turbulent year. A Vatican delegation to UN conference brings them to New York, where they share an apartment and moments of holiday cheer. But beneath the Christmas magic, one wrestles with his self-worth, and one with his declining health and sense of uselessness. They love each other as much as they allow themselves t, and that’s exactly why they end up wounding each other for the first time, it was bound to happen anyways.
