    Summary

    The path to madness was paved by grappa, wine, and misery.
    Bellini’s, Lawrence’s, and the Holy Father’s insufferable behavior at the official dinner did the rest.
    Every glance across the table tore open an existing wound, and every soft-spoken word felt like a stab of a knife.

    Instead of retiring for the night, Sabbadin accepts Tedesco's invitation to share a bottle of grappa. The night does not end as he expected.

    Summary

    “Do you always watch me that closely, Eminenza?” he asks, eyes on Aldo. Something in his voice has shifted, too, dropping it into what might almost be a conspiratorial mutter, and Aldo shouldn’t delude himself into thinking he can read anything into it. It’s been too long.

    Some doors should stay closed, especially after they’ve been slammed shut.


    After the conclave, over the course of seven days and seven conversations, Aldo Bellini is forced to retrace the steps of a past he's spent thirty years trying to forget and slowly comes to the realisation that old, buried feelings might not have been buried that deeply after all.

    Summary

    After a year, Pope Vincent is thrown a birthday party to celebrate his growing legacy as the New Holy Father.

    Goffredo Tedesco finds himself on the outskirts of the celebration with the knowledge that perhaps no one wanted him there. It was his doing of course. No matter how much one changes, there will always be a sense of trepidation that the butcher will still lash out. So he goes outside and readies himself to leave without so much as a goodbye, but then unexpected company brings more than just simple conversation.
