Summary
“Do you see him?” Armand asks.
“See what?” Molloy says, after a pause.
“The boy in the corner,” says Armand, instead of the boy in the corner who looks like my younger self.

Armand's past comes back to haunt him. Literally.

Summary
”What’s the point of painting someone like this?”
“What do you mean, beloved?”
”She looks like she’s chewing a wasp.”
“And? What is wrong with that?”
“It’s unflattering. Unrefined. You’d wonder why he didn’t tell her to, you know, perk up a bit.”
Armand stifles a laugh with his hand. Daniel glances over at him, and can’t help softly smiling. Preening. He likes that it amuses Armand when he behaves like a philistine.
”I still fail to see the problem. There is something to be said for preserving someone in the imperfect stages.”
Armand can look so tender when he smiles, sometimes. Butter really wouldn’t melt, when he gives Daniel that shy look from under his eyelashes, like they both don’t know what he’s thinking.
