    Summary

    So. Here are the facts as you see them.

    Fact number one: Giulia is going to be on the train for Genova in two days. She's going back home--because Genova is her home, apparently, and you're still grappling with the idea that there are places outside your island and Portorosso, BIG ones, they keep telling you, all over the globe--where she'll spend the next nine or so months going to school.

    Fact number two: You and Luca now own your very own Vespa. It's not road-ready yet, and it might not be for a while, which is fine actually because it turns out now that the Paguros aren't going to send Luca away to the bottom of the ocean, you're going to have to whittle them down into giving him permission to run away with you.

    Fact number three: That's not even really a plan that makes sense, if you think about it for more than a few minutes at a time.

    Fact number four: You haven't forgotten that Luca doesn't actually want to run away with you anymore. He's just pretending he never said it.

    Summary

    The hotel is thriving with the hustle and bustle of wayward souls. As co-conspirator owner, Alastor is inordinately pleased.

    The only issue that he has with the sudden surge in popularity stems from the source of it, or the conundrum known as Angel Dust. Unable or unwilling to wrap his mind around the porn star’s apparent magnetism, he decides to take matters into his own hands.

    For research purposes.

    Summary

    In life, there exists a natural fluctuation to everything. A rhythmic ebb and flow. This applies to conversations, relationships, and other issues of a more mortal variety.

    Turns out, no one is immune from illness, not even homicidal radio hosts.

    Summary

    People say that there's a dearth of affection and love in the margins of society, in seedy spaces such as strip clubs.

    People are wrong.

    It's a fact that Cherri knows. It's the truth.

    Sometimes, to appreciate art, one must take a few steps back.

    And even then, it takes a leap of faith.

    Summary

    “‘m sorry, mom.” You say it quietly, barely moving your lips, like the more you open your mouth the more words she can shove in it that you didn’t mean but she knows you said.
    “Sorry, I don’t hear mumblers. I named you Onceler, not Mumbler, sweetie.” Her tone is honey sweet with something sharp in the background.
