    Summary

    They shouldn't be doing this. He shouldn't be doing this. He should be telling Tedesco to stop, to leave, to never speak of this again, but instead…

    Summary

    "It is in the wild, ancient part of the forest," Aldo says. "It will not be too long a walk. Maybe three quarters of an hour. Will that trouble you? We may do it another day, if you are tired."

    "No, of course not."

    "Thank you."

    I love you, Vincent thinks, suddenly. I love how much you love him, even now. I suppose I am in love with you. The thought is new, but not a surprise. He lets it warm like embers in his chest for a moment.

    Or, Aldo Bellini agonises over love and grief, Vincent Benítez meets an old friend in the woods, and Thomas Lawrence finally catches a break after a terrible year.

    Summary

    For once, the train to Venice left Rome on time, which feels like divine intervention. Aldo clutches his overnight bag as the train rolls into the station and gets to his feet too quickly, holding onto the back of his seat as the train jerks to a halt. He waits for a small family of two children and a single mother wrangling a stroller to pass him by, smiling quickly at the mother in question, before he follows them to the doors and steps onto the platform.

    The last time he came here, someone on Goffredo’s staff was waiting for him to escort him to the Palazzo Patriarcale. This time, he disembarks and makes his way to the exit alone. No one is waiting for him, for one very simple reason:

    He hasn’t told Goffredo he’s coming.


    Or: snapshots of a year.

    Summary

    Vincent has never been a man to meddle, but there are times where the hand of God outweighs his desire to leave things as they are.

    He watches one argument between Goffredo and Aldo and suddenly he feels God's hand guiding him towards actions that he thought would bring forth change, but what it brought were the opening of old wounds and the resurfacing of pain thought to be long forgotten.

    Aldo and Goffredo do not know this, but through the hand of God, they will come together as they were always meant to do.
