Summary
“I do occasionally like to try my luck, Mr. Barrow.”
“I’ve noticed that about you, Mr. Ellis.”
It’s always been like this, Richard realises. It’s always been this easy with Thomas. The banter, the back-and-forth, that sense of having found a kindred spirit. Someone to be on equal footing with. Something grounding and real, a presence outside these walls, a reminder that the world doesn’t stop at the gates of Buckingham Palace, like he sometimes feels it does.
And what a godsend you are, for so many reasons.
Sequel to I'll yield to the flood of your beauty.
After their getaway in the Yorkshire countryside, it's back to reality for Thomas and Richard both. They each deal with it in drastically different ways, and learn a thing or two in the process - not only about the other, but themselves most of all.
