   Summary

   After Louis dismisses him, he doesn’t wait to be left alone with Armand, he doesn’t even bother collecting his luggage from his room. He hastily gathers his notes, leaves the burning laptop on the table. When he steps out of the elevator his phone pings with his flight details and ticket.

   Not even five hours after he has detonated Louis’ and Armand’s life - and subsequently very likely his own, again - he’s on a plane back home.

   __________

   Daniel survives Dubai, but starts to remember. As memories resurface, so do questions about what really happened between him and Armand in San Francisco - and what Daniel is willing to forgive.
