    Summary

    He awoke with a gasp, shooting straight up in his bed. It was not unlike the sensation of falling down while asleep and jolting awake. But this was much, much worse. He sat there, a sob caught in his throat, shaking violently, pressing the balls of his wrists into his eyes.

    The images from Vincent’s nightmare still flashed behind his eyes so clearly as though it were real. The ear splitting blast from the explosion, the shrapnel from the car bomb ricocheting in every direction and piercing his flesh. The dream was as realistic as the day it had actually happened in Kabul, but the only thing that had changed from the reality of that day was the figure bleeding out next to him in this nightmare.

    Thomas.

    Or

    Vincent has been having nightmares, and unexpectedly runs into Thomas late at night.

    Summary

    Benítez tilts his head a fraction closer, conspiratorial. “It’s a pity our devices have been confiscated for the time that we’re sequestered here. I would’ve suggested sneaking off to exchange more music recommendations since you’ve demonstrated taste.”

    “Dally any longer, and I fear that neither of us will be in anyone’s good graces,” Thomas replies as Ray sweeps past them. “But I would’ve…” He glances furtively at Benítez; for an instant, it’s the thrill of misbehaving at seminary again. “I would’ve liked that.”

    “There’s a computer in the office.”

    “We’d have to cross Sister Agnes.”

    “Ah. Never mind that idea, then.”

    Oh, the things I would’ve liked had we been young men together, Thomas thinks wistfully as they approach the dining room. I would’ve liked you.

    Summary

    Thomas doesn't know if he's being heard, but God certainly did send him an (extremely unlikely) message.

    Summary

    Moments after Benitez’s election - gathered in the Room of Tears, our dear Dean comes to learn Vincent’s secret - the clinic in Geneva was for a D & C procedure and hysterectomy -Vincent never went and instead - gave birth to a son.

    In which, Cardinal Lawrence accidentally becomes Uncle Tomás and Luca delights in the number of priests and nuns he encounters - for the 18-month-old - the Vatican feels like the mission to Kabul in many ways. (Very big fan of nuns and shoes and the turtles in the garden.)
