Summary
“Well. I mean.” York’s tone was arch, almost mocking. “Do you want me to be hitting on you?”
Cornelius badly wanted to wipe the shit-eating grin off York’s face. (Huh, he thought, so this is how people feel when they talk to me.) He could’ve replied with any number of posturing, passive aggressive quips, but what came out of his mouth was, “Yeah. Yeah, I do.”
Cornelius Hickey finds himself working a dead-end job as a barista at Franklin's Coffee when in walks a dark, mysterious, absolutely insufferable customer named Richard York. The rest is history.

Summary
Richard reached into his doublet to retrieve his dagger – and stopped. No. It was probably a special kind of sin to kill a man without even giving him time to react: he felt he had to say something, to announce his presence somehow, even if in the slightest and most perfunctory way. He opened his mouth to speak, but at that moment King Henry turned around and looked him straight in the eye.
“I knew you would come,” said Henry, his voice soft and without a hint of reproach. “I knew it would be you.”
