    Summary

    He prides himself in his calm composure, for his heart beats wild in his chest. The room is no longer ornate, the imposing atmosphere begins to shrink and close in on him. The air swallows the light, and around him is cobbled stone. He is in the tower again, and he feels the fear he did not allow himself to experience those dreadful months ago.

    One Night, Gardiner begged. One Night, Thomas repeats in his mind. One night, over and over again, as if saying it makes it any more true.

    Summary

    "And you have ruined me –you have ruined me."

     

    -

    Thomas supposes that he has misread Henry’s intentions. His Majesty after all, did not respond well to the kiss.

    It wasn’t the dismal of his position that solidified Thomas’s initial fear, it was the fury in Henry’s eyes that let him know those emotions, were indeed, misplaced.

    Yet if that is true, why has the king come to him weeks after the fact?

    Perhaps it is a fever dream or an inward desire, but Thomas swears it is his majesty that stands at the end of the corridor.

    Summary

    “Are you trying to learn how to dance?”

    Lawrence turns pink. Aldo’s caught him.

    “No,” Lawrence stutters, “Well - yes. The Holy Father has requested … for the royal wedding ...”

    Aldo’s heart squeezes. He ignores it, the foolish thing. “You don’t know how to dance?”

    “No,” Lawrence says, despairing, “Of course I don’t know how to dance, Aldo, I’ve been a priest for forty years.”

    Summary

    Giulio was blindsided. This was either an incredibly daring tactical move - or utter transparency. And something about the way Ray was watching him spoke more of vulnerability than deceit. Giulio gave in to the need to hide from this much discomfort and reached for his cigarettes. There was a moment of silence in which Giulio recognized that his non-answer was worse than any answer he could have given, but he didn’t know what to do about it. The sensation itched like ants on his skin.
