Summary
“You have a lovely mole,” Yusuf said. Nicolò didn’t catch his last word. He looked at him questioningly.
Yusuf tapped on his mole gently as he rinsed his blade. “Mole,” he repeated in Arabic.
“Mole,” said Nicolò in Zeneize. Then he tried to imitate the Arabic word.
Yusuf smiled at his effort. His dimples were showing. It felt like a discovery every time Nicolò saw them.
Nicolò didn’t know what possessed him when he reached out to touch that spot and said, “Dimple.” in Zeneize.
“Dimple,” repeated Yusuf and of course he did perfect the first time. He said the word back in Arabic. Nicolò tried to repeat it. By the way Yusuf smiled, it looked like he did a passable job.
Then it’s all over too quickly. Yusuf scooped some water and rinsed Nicolò’s face, then used his own shirt to dab it. “All done,” he said.
Then their eyes locked and something else, something that in hindsight felt inevitable, shifted.

Summary
A group of pirates kill a merid, only to find that she was a mer-matron, and they have orphaned her young daughter. Who would they be if they did not save the child?
They wouldn't be the legends they are now, that's for sure.

Summary
“I have to go.”
He nods, throat so tight that all he can manage is a short, “I know.”
“I have to go, Nico. I can’t let Tunisia fall to Mussolini,” Joe mumbles, still unable to look him in the eye. The fight at home is spreading like an infection and it is no longer enough to keep cutting the sickness out from the source. Nicolò nods again, numbness creeping to his heart like winter’s first freeze, and hears Joe’s soft voice say, “I’m sorry.”
When the news of Italy’s plans to invade Tunisia reach Joe and Nicolò, Joe goes home.
Nicolò is forced to wait.

Summary
After Merrick, Nicky takes Joe back to Malta. They distract each other from the pain of almost losing each other again but it seems that trouble isn't too far off.
Merrick had competitors, after all. And when data gets into the wrong hands as a result of corporate espionage, others come for Nicky and Joe. They only need one of them, and it's an easy choice for Nicky -- he just prays that Joe will some day forgive him.
