Summary
With Vincent and Aldo away at a conference, Thomas needs somebody to help him with a certain (rather embarrassing) treatment. Fortunately, Ray is more than happy to lend a hand. It's the doctor's orders, after all!

Summary
Early spring in Northern Italy is damp and cold. Abbot Lorenzo doesn’t like this time of year — it gets into his old bones.
One evening, a stranger arrives at the abbey gate. Vincenzo Benitez, a Mozarab traveler, is calm and smiling. He is also barefoot. His feet are dusty, scratched, and slightly blue from the cold. When the abbot expresses his horror, Benitez explains that he grew used to warm sand and stones in hot countries. He simply forgot that not everywhere is always warm.
Lorenzo cannot let this pass. He finds an old pair of shoes, insists that the traveler wear them, and invites him to share a humble meal. There is no grand speech, no deep theological discussion — only soup, bread, a crackling fire, and one stubborn abbot determined to warm a stranger’s feet.
A short, cozy vignette about small kindnesses and the quiet beginning of spring.

Summary
There’s something not right with the Bridge at the Tay —
there’s bits of it strewn on the silt beneath.
But there’s more than that — I’ve heard that the train
was ablaze when it fell — that the wind was alive —
that there were only forty six bodies —
only forty six, on a loaded train. I ask you.- Language:

Summary
From the moment he first stepped out onto the balcony in St. Peter’s Square as Innocent XIV, Vincent Benítez knew that the days of his papacy were numbered. And yet, when a costly mistake forces him to resign, he doesn’t come prepared for the grief the loss of his office causes him.
Thomas Lawrence naively liked to think that he wouldn’t live to see the end of Innocent’s papacy. He never could have imagined that he, of all people, would be the one responsible for it.
Lost and with their hearts filled with both guilt and unexplored desires, they struggle to navigate the shambles of the life they knew. They find refuge in a place where they least expect it – an old, ramshackle farmhouse in the middle of nowhere, that’s just as desperate for love and forgiveness as them.
Or: The one where Vincent and Thomas get the retirement they both deserve and finally allow themselves to love each other.
