   Summary

   When James follows the Admiral into his study, when Hennessey turns back to him and steps aside to reveal Alfred Hamilton sitting in the room’s best chair, eyes narrowed like an old eagle’s, when the grinding clockwork of the world as James thought he knew it seems to shudder to a halt around him –

   James can think, for a moment, of nothing but the last time he saw the earl of Ashbourne, and what happened after. How very carefully Thomas had approached him. The warmth of his hands.

   (Or: Alfred Hamilton offers James McGraw a deal in exchange for Thomas and Miranda's safety. Then they have to live with it.)
