    Summary

    “Have you considered the possibility that Neil has chosen you, but believes you have not chosen him?” Renee says. "Have you ever explicitly told him what you want?”

    “Neil knows what I want,” Andrew snaps. This is not Andrew’s fault.

    “How do you know?”

    Because Neil always knows. He is as fluent in Andrew’s micro-expressions as he is in German and French. He knows which head tilts mean “go on” and which ones mean “shut up.” Without ever asking, he learned what it meant to see Andrew wearing double layers of long sleeves, or taking multiple showers in a day, and learned to hand Andrew the car keys.

    That has always been the most terrifying thing about Neil — his patience to wait, watch, listen, learn. The prospect that if Neil were given enough time, there would be no part of Andrew that was just Andrew’s anymore.

    “He has to know,” Andrew says.

    “Does he?” Renee says. “Have you ever known Neil to assume that he is wanted?”

    Five times Neil tells someone that he and Andrew aren’t dating, and one time Andrew uses his words to set the record straight.

    Summary

    Neil sees Kevin Day everyday at the train station, but Kevin Day never recognizes Neil.

    When Kevin finally does notice Neil, he also immediately falls on the train tracks and succumbs to a coma of indeterminate length.

    Then all of Kevin’s friends and family assume Neil is dating Kevin, and Neil doesn’t know how to tell them he hasn’t spoken to Kevin—or anybody at all, really—for almost seven years.

    So Neil lets the Foxes think he’s dating Kevin. Just for a little while. Just until Kevin wakes up.

    Summary

    Miles is not listening; he is biting into crisp layers of dough, lightly sugared and drizzled with the hand whipped cream that Phoenix has added the tiniest touch of brandy soaked vanilla to, in order to cut through the sweetness with some depth. The delicate strawberry roses lend a touch of tartness that makes each bite more than just a dessert- it is an experience.

    “It’s okay, right?” Phoenix asks, already cleaning up.

    “Perfectly adequate,” Miles says, scraping the side of his fork against the plate to get every last crumb.

    Summary

    The phone rings and Miles answers, voice sharp and forbidding, jarred from a rare restful sleep.

    “Do you have any idea what time it is, Wright?”

    “No,” a soft, contrite, feminine voice says over the line. A young voice.

    …and that is how Miles Edgeworth finds out about the disbarment.

    ~~

    Miles Edgeworth and Trucy Wright have a lot in common, actually.
