19. Balcony – For Edward's birthday, Roy had taken him to a town on the border with Creta, where no one knows them, and where they can be together without risk of consequences; as much as Ed wants Roy to bend him over the balcony railing of their hotel and fuck him, Edward also just wants to spend time with Roy as a normal couple, in public.

29. Jewel – Made of silver and gold, Ed was the most precious thing Roy was allowed to touch.

39. Share – Their morning routine was incredibly complex; jumbles of elbows shoving each other away from the mirror, water sloshing out of the sink and making the floor slippery, long waits for the bathroom, and sloppy kisses goodbye as Roy goes to work; this, Ed thinks as he gets an elbow in Roy's side, is what love is all about.

40. Solitary – Starting tomorrow, I will never have to be alone again, Edward thought as he span the ring on his finger once more before getting up and heading back inside the dark, empty house.

41. Nowhere – Ed had been on assignment for the past three weeks; he was only a few towns away, but Roy felt as though an empty, desolate desert was between him and his lover.
