    Summary

    His brother took the seat opposite his desk, folding one leg over the other. Baelor’s mismatched eyes glinted knowingly in the low light. “I think that you married her to Daeron solely because you did not want to let her go. Away from Summerhall, away from your side. Isn’t that right?”

    “You presume too much–”

    “I presume exactly the right amount, brother,” movement drew Maekar’s eye to Baelor’s hands, where he spun one of his rings around his finger. “It is not a crime to be a fond father, Maekar, I dare say it even makes you more likeable. It is not a fault.”

    ~

    Daenys is Daeron's sister-wife. It is not a good arrangement.

    Summary

    Cassandra was never a liar.

    John MacTavish will die. It will be bloody, brutal. A bullet through the skull and a scream that never seems to end.

    You shouldn’t know that.

    Summary

    We can’t keep doing this, he likes to say, but he never ends it. He never meant for it to happen, you’re sure. You didn’t mean for it either. You’re falling asleep to the sound of him scribbling Needs further explanation on an essay he’s grading, your thighs still tickle from his beard, and you really don’t know how this keeps happening, it just does.

    He must be lonely, you figure. Or sad. Or going through some sort of mid-life crisis. You’ve seen the pictures of his sons in his office: the younger one, the lanky redhead, grinning in a boarding school uniform, and the older one, a carbon copy of his father, off on summer holiday adventures in his university jumper. Barely younger than you.

    And there’s the wedding ring he doesn’t take off. You tried reading the obituary in the library when you were supposed to be doing research and only got as far as “...passed thirteen months after a diagnosis of glioblastoma…” before you felt sick.

    You’ve felt that ring inside you while you’ve fallen apart on his fingers. You’ve licked the warm metal clean after.
