    Vincent Benítez didn't sign up for any of this but ends up doing a better job anyway.
    Thomas Lawrence has been managing these idiots all his adult life (and people think running a conclave is a thankless job).

    Summary

    The joyous papacy of Innocent XIV has no place for Aldo Bellini. He knows the worst of himself—knows he should, rightly, be cast aside. And yet, he is still so terribly hungry.

    Exiled with his worst enemy, desperate for what he can’t even name, he is caught between Venice and Rome, the sinner he is and the saint he wants to be.

    Summary

    Innocent is looking out of the window as though he can see something more there than the blackness of a howling winter night. “I find myself wishing for his guidance.”

    “If it is of any comfort,” Aldo tries, “He trusted Thomas to steer the Church through the Conclave. He was sure of his integrity like he was of no one else’s here. And Thomas has complete faith in you. You can be sure of his counsel.”

    “I know I can. He’s been a blessing.” At the mention of Thomas, Innocent had brightened, but there is something searching in his expression when he looks back at Aldo, like he hadn’t quite gotten the answer he wanted.

    Or: Aldo and Vincent discover that they have some things in common.
