Summary
If Tomas thinks about it, it's not so difficult to suppose that with the scant handful of lovers he's known, he's still more experienced than Marcus. Marcus who was raised in the Church, who switches dizzyingly fast from closed-off and taciturn to baring his soul with an almost unnerving intimacy, who can be so effortlessly affectionate with the people whose lives he touches yet is so insistent that an exorcist must go without things like home and family and love.
And once Tomas has had that realization, it feels like something precious and fragile has been unexpectedly placed in front of him. Not because of any naive association of virginity with purity, but because if he's right, it means that Marcus has either never wanted or never trusted anyone enough to take that step.
