Summary
Alexander Claremont-Diaz needed a drink.
A good drink.
A strong, generously poured, warming drink — preferably as soon as possible — and a sturdy brass rail to lean against while he soaked in its much needed effects.
More importantly, or at least more immediately, he needed a suitable place to dry off.

Summary
Henry turned back to Alex. “It’s a fake.”
Alex scoffed. “You haven’t even looked at it!”
Henry shrugged. “I don’t need to. It’s a fake.”
“How–?”
“Stop asking me how, Alexander, and just bloody listen for once?”
Alex threw his hands in the air before pushing them into his hair. He checked the door to the gallery, in case Fisher had gotten back so soon, then wheeled back around on his C.I. “I’m listening.”

Summary
“Hello, Pyramus.”
Henry arched his back where he lay and smiled at the voice. That same American lilt he’d thought about for days on end, guided his hand in the shower in the morning, kept him in a reasonable mood despite the annoying rush of the week.
Stretching his arms above his head, Henry’s skin sang with the need to put on a show. He waved his fingers in open air. “Hello, there.”

Summary
There was nothing but a glass of chenin blanc standing between Henry and total humiliation. One of these days, he was going to have to get ahead of his sister and best friend; cut them off before these ideas even occurred to them.
“Just give it a try, Hen,” Bea said, a pushy edge to her voice. Henry knew she didn’t mean to be, but it made him grit his teeth all the same. “What have you got to lose?”
~*~
In which Henry indulges his sister, downloads an app, puts himself out there, and finds out the person he needed was waiting right next to him all along.

Summary
Alex perched on the edge of the couch cushion, sweeping a hand over the pale skin of the man’s face. “Where did you come from?”
His eyes stayed closed, but his color was better. His hair had dried, his breathing had steadied. He laid a hand over the blankets. Alex knew he couldn’t hear him. He didn’t mind talking to the open air. He reached under the blankets, pulling a long-fingered hand from under the cocoon of warmth. His fingers were losing their bluish hue. He delicately turned it over at the wrist, exposing a blistered and torn palm to the lamplight.
“Your shoulders say sailor, but your hands say rich boy. Whoever you are, you should have known better than to go out last night. You read the wind wrong, I guess.” Alex poked at the ripped skin. He took a breath and let it out slowly. “I hope you wake up so I can ask you. Someone has to be looking for you.”
