    Summary

    “You’d like him, you know,” Thomas said.

    “I do like him,” Aldo said automatically, twirling the stem of his wine glass, looking into its deep red like it was a scrying mirror.

    “I mean as a friend. If you spent more time with him. You have a lot in common.”

    “Do we use the same shampoo?” asked Aldo, raising an eyebrow. Thomas gave him a warning look but his mouth was tugging up.

    “You’re both stubborn,” he said bluntly.

    Cardinals like Thomas Lawrence and Aldo Bellini know all too well how slowly things move within the walls of the Vatican. But with Vincent Benítez's election cracking their world open, and the new Pope cutting away the old branches to make room for the new, both find that change is flooding in everywhere, mostly within themselves.

    Summary

    “You are not well,” Salvador returns. “You are overflowing with…” he pauses to search for the word and he finds it, “grief. You’re grieving. It has hollowed you out.”

     

    “I have nothing to grieve for.”

     

    “You’re lying, Thomas.”

    Summary

    “Finish it out,” he grits between clenched teeth. “Go on. Ask it.”

    Nolan shifts in his seat. “Are or are you not attracted, at the very least, to Wilson?”

    House knocks his forehead against his cane. “I don’t know. Maybe.”

    [In which Nolan pulls at the Wilson thread, and House can't stop it all from unraveling. Repression is a hell of a drug.]
