    Summary

    There were many reasons why Nicky was better suited to being a sniper than Joe was. One of them was Nicky’s patience. Another was Joe’s tendency to forget his surroundings when absorbed enough in his current object of interest. Although he had to know perfectly well that Nicky was in the next room, that the door was ajar, and that Nicky could hear every word he said, Joe was carrying on a conversation with the kitten as if they were the only two beings in the cottage.

    Summary

    “Like I said,” he teased, ushering Nicolò outside. “I wanted to celebrate. It’s been a century since we met.”

    Nicolò sat down on the grass, gazing out to the water.

    Yusuf wished they could stay there forever, in their small cabin by the sea. Nicolò looked so at peace here, so happy, and Yusuf knew he would do anything to keep him this way.

    “It’s August,” Nicolò said dryly, taking a sip of his wine. “We met, if you want to call it that, in July.”

    Yusuf waved a hand. “Details, details.”

    ~~~

    One hundred years after meeting for the first time, Yusuf and Nicolò have a conversation by the sea.
