    Summary

    “There.” Henry swallows through the thickness once again. In an attempt to bring about some levity, Henry teases, “You look pretty as any bride.”

    Hans laughs wetly, something more of a spit than humor. He shakes his head and attempts to run his fingers through his locks but his hand pauses at the first touch of the chain. Bringing his own hand to his gaze, Hans’ mood fizzles, like barely there sparks bowing to a downpour. “Rather be your bride than her groom,” Hans clenches his hand into a fist and Henry watches the well-kept nails threaten to bleed the soft skin of his palm. As if Hans is on his knees seeking forgiveness for his confession, bleeding and paying his way into Heaven’s gates.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Quote: "How does Henry love Hans? How does the earth turn about the sun? How does the sky shine blue in the morning? How does a bird know to sing if not by birth? And greater still, how does a wolf know to hunt? Or a scholar know to write? It is something inherent to Henry; it is also something learned. Where Henry knew love, he had learned to love anew, too. Where Henry knew kindness, he had learned to show gentleness. His hands had been taught tenderness. His heart knew softness from creation. Something born to and a choice sought after every moment since. That is the space in which Henry loves Hans. In the known. In the unknown. In whatever lies between those two."

    Summary

    “Oh, Wriothesley,” Neuvillette breathed. “These are simply exquisite. A beautiful gift.” Then, to the Duke’s surprise, he placed the bouquet back down on the table. “But I cannot accept them.”

    “Why the hell not?” Wriothesley demanded.

    “It has come to my attention that flowers…distress me.”

    Or, Wriothesley just wants to give Neuvillette flowers and doesn’t understand why it downpours in Fontaine a week after each bouquet is delivered. He’s determined to figure it out with assistance from Cecilia, the clerk at the flower shop.
