    Summary

    “I used to give Nancy massages,” Steve says.

    It’s out before he even knows where it came from. Really it’s like somebody else said it, commandeering his voice — the thought process didn’t happen, or if it did, it happened without Steve’s supervision. Maybe something to do with brown waves of hair, dimmed lights. He’s too busy balking at his words to retroactively connect any dots, at the moment, so he can’t be too sure.

    Eddie’s just as confused, it seems, because he goes completely still. The silence hangs heavy, for the three or four seconds it’s there, and Steve wishes he could see Eddie’s face. Finds himself incapable of guessing at the expression he might be wearing right now. He just has to stare at the back of his head, the tensed line of his shoulders, until Eddie finally says, “Oh, yeah?”

    (Eddie's back is all fucked up. Steve lends a hand.)

    Summary

    "Go ahead," he tries, defeatedly, this time through barely-concealed gritted teeth.

    "Why don't you leave?"

    It's Yusuf's turn to recoil.

    He feels a vein starting to throb in his temples. "Pardon?"

    "You know what I mean," Nicolò protests, shoulders straightening.

    "Not always, eh?"

    He cocks his head and narrows his eyes, both of which are well-nigh daunting to carry out in the general direction of Nicolò, who is trekking at his side, without stumbling over his own feet.

    But there's something acidic bubbling up on his tongue, and he's in no mood for another argument. Something about this particular one feels dangerous somehow.
