    Summary

    “Come on then,” says Paddy, unbuckling his seatbelt. “We’re going to miss our train.”

    “You know," says Eoin, "if you’re taking me to another country to kill me, legally you have to tell me."

    “Christ, lad, you think I'd let you die in France?”

    “We're going to France?”

    "Aye, well, I figured that if we were going to keep seeing each other then it was probably about time you met Augustin."

    “Oh, excellent,” says Eoin, “I’ve always wanted to go to Paris for the first time so that I can meet my boyfriend’s ex.”

    June, 2025. Paddy takes Eoin to Paris, and carries his bags for him.

    Summary

    “Was there water?” Ambrose asks.
    “It is the desert, Ambrose” Paddy says gently and he is supposed to be the mad one, the one who has to be gentled down from delusion and insanity like a child, not Ambrose, never Ambrose “There was no water around for miles”
    Of all the things to be asking after…
    “It rained” Paddy says at last, “Monsoon rain, biblical, washed away the landscape entire. By the time I had a mind to go and look for him again everything had changed and there was no way to find him. I did look. I did look for him. I swear it”
    Paddy looks up to find Ambrose smiling a private smile and nodding like he’s hearing voices Paddy can not.
    "Rain might just be enough" Ambrose says, seeming pleased with the answer "Rain and the saltwater of tears”

    Or: Eoin comes back.

    Summary

    Because he'd not heeded the warning signs, had he. Not in the past months—years, even, since he'd met Eoin by the side of the always green pitch—and not in the past days, where, through poetry and gritted teeth, he had allowed himself to notice things, things small and dreadful.

    The way the lamplight would fall on Eoin's neck when he knelt between his legs, how he'd scrunch his forehead when holding the scissors in his mouth while fiddling with the roll of gauze, the way he would set the sulpha powder's cap in the same place each time, and how Paddy's body already knew the exact shape of his movement.

    He'd clasped at Yeats as much as at the remnants of the pain, willing it to hurt more than it did.

    And yet here he was, foaming at the mouth, and snapping at thin air.
