Summary
On the other side of the display case was a man about his height, with his salt-and-pepper hair tied back into a neat half-ponytail and what had to be the biggest brown eyes that had ever existed. He was, Stede thought stupidly, the most beautiful person in the world, and he suddenly longed to hold him close, to dive into him and never come up for air.
“Ah,” said Stede, the words barely able to leave his mouth. He was inexplicably lightheaded; he’d nearly forgotten how to breathe. “Pardon me.”
“Oh,” said the man. “Fuck.”
Burnt out from his corporate job and his miserable marriage, Stede takes a seaside vacation where he meets Ed, an artist who takes inspiration from strange dreams that feel like memories. A museum exhibit about Blackbeard and the Gentleman Pirate brings them together, but it doesn't feel like the first time they've met.
