Summary
“Yusuf?” Nicky breathes, and the man fires a blast into his chest.
Nile winces - it’s gory, messy, he’ll be down for awhile - before his words catch up to her, and she whips her head around to stare at the man holding a gun on her family.
She does recognize him, she realizes with a sinking feeling. She thought she’d just hadn’t had a dream about him in awhile, but she never made the connection between a man going about his mundane business in a store with the screaming one trapped under the ocean that had been haunting her. She just thought he was a random face plucked from her memories.

Summary
“We could dance like lovers now, out on the street?”
“Not everywhere,” Nicky said. Joe stretched his hand out over the space between their beds, and Nicky took it and laced their fingers together. “Cities are safer, but there is still danger.”
Joe sighed. Nicky had rubbed his thumb over Joe’s knuckles and wished that Joe had not suffered for so long only to be reborn into a world that was still steeped in prejudice, in the same intolerance and hatred that caused all his pain. “I would like to dance with you like that one day,” Joe told him, and Nicky had to press a kiss to their tangled fingers.
