    Summary

    Daniel is half-drunk and, as he is most of the time, unpleasant. These are important facts. The other important facts are as follows: Daniel is three years away from sixty. Daniel’s second marriage officially ended seven months ago, though she moved out two years ago. The divorce took a long time because he was dragging his feet on signing the papers. He doesn’t know why he dragged his feet for a whole fourteen-and-a-half months. He told his wife and her lawyers and his lawyers it was because he was too bogged down in preparing this memoir to give a shit about some paperwork. He is so fucking tired of getting divorced. He’s decided, officially, that he’s not ever going to get married again, even if it means he doesn’t get laid for the rest of his life. If needs must, he’ll buy a fleshlight.
    _____

    Summary

    I’ve lost my mind, Daniel thinks, still lavishing kisses to the chest of the creature that killed him. He says the next part out loud: “I fucking hate you. And you hate me. So something is making us do this.”

    “I don’t hate you,” Armand pants. “You mean nothing to me. Don't stop.”

    Summary

    Armand wipes the blood off his chin with a naked, not entirely steady hand. That’s the trick to him; caring is all he really knows how to do, which is not to say that he does it well. Coveted, unwanted, persecuted or cast aside, it matters not; the beast that wears his face is always parched. What will it be this time? Forty, maybe fifty years until Daniel stops using kinder names for Armand’s transgressions? It’s much too soon to fall back onto old patterns, Louis’ absence still to crystallize fully and his weakness for Daniel a ruminating, living thing inside of his dead chest, making a bigger space for itself every second.

    Summary

    “Did we call each other boyfriend? Surely not. Sounds weird even saying out loud.”

    “You were my beloved,” Armand says. “My lover. My boy.”

    “Your human pet. Your mortal fool. I get it,” Daniel says, not neglecting to notice his use of the past tense. “You want to go see a movie?”
