    Summary

    “You should try reading the next chapter for us, lad.”

    Tommy knew his face must be pink, he could feel the surprise heat of sudden embarrassment in his cheeks. He’d not expected to be put on the spot; it’d been a nice evening of simply listening to John’s warm baritone get through the first few chapters. Tommy was greatly enjoying just listening to the story, tonight. He looked between John and Henry, as a nervousness swelled up in his chest. The fear of disappointing them overtook his heart.

    “You’re sure? I’ll do it badly— not even half as well as Mr. Bridgens can read.”

    Summary

    February 1853 - Valentine's Day

    He is in his skirts, hair braided almost long enough for the tip to lay over his shoulder like the tail of a fish. From the same the sleeve of his chemise slips, revealing pale freckled skin and dark ink. He is beautiful, strong and steady rooted in the weight of himself - standing at the banks of their bed and leaning over to brush willow-like against the pooled love there. It moves Harry, desire crashing into him and turning his limbs to motion.

    Summary

    Harry wakes up on the sofa of John's flat, the reminder of the night before sour in his mouth, wishing he had woken up in John's bed instead.

    Soon the timer will ping and they will have to pull apart from where they are rocking together, lazily dancing to the faint strains of whatever record John’s put on to fill in the gasping silence of the January Sunday.

    For now John's hand is heavy in the centre of his back, pulling him closer as if they could fuse into one body, meeting somehow into a perfect circle. Harry lets himself be tucked neatly in, letting his arms fall from where they were slung around John’s neck to curl around his chest. When he rests his cheek against John’s shoulder he can feel the thrum of his heart through his shirt.

    Summary

    “Oh,” Solomon’s voice was soft. “It’s all backwards.”

    “Hm?” Tommy was still puzzling over the words, trying to make any English sense of them.

    His finger reached around Tommy's shoulder and pointed at a line. “There, see? S-O-W A E-N-I-R-A-M Y-B E-H-T T-U-C F-O S-I-H. ‘Was a marine by the cut of his...’, and the line cuts off.”

    Tommy’s brow furrowed, but he turned to look at Solomon’s pleased face. “Not such a fool, am I.”

    It wasn’t Tommy’s wallet that Solomon had found. Neither his letters and notes, either. It took a few more quiet moments of focused sorting and unfolding until it dawned on him: this belonged to Mr. Peglar.
