    Summary

    What are you doing?”
    “Nothing.” He dropped his hand. “Not sleeping, not writing, not making love to you—”
    “You’re thinking. Of what?”
    “What rich men lack, poor men have, what’s higher than heaven or more bottomless than hell. In a word, Tommy, nothing.”
    Thomas sighed, not needing words to express how if that was the case, he dreaded the idea of Kit thinking something. Against either of their intentions, surely, it pulled a smile across Kit’s mouth.
    “Leave these frivolous demands, which strike a terror to my fainting soul,” he murmured.
    A deeper sigh, humor mixed with ruefulness. Thomas read the play last night—first audience, as befit a patron—and he knew better than any what it meant for Kit to quote something he’d already written down. Yet, undaunted by a failed exorcism, Thomas stroked a hand through Kit’s hair. “Then I will lie here and think of nothing with you.”
