    Summary

    “Did we call each other boyfriend? Surely not. Sounds weird even saying out loud.”

    “You were my beloved,” Armand says. “My lover. My boy.”

    “Your human pet. Your mortal fool. I get it,” Daniel says, not neglecting to notice his use of the past tense. “You want to go see a movie?”

    Summary

    "I know what a breakup looks like," Daniel says. "The better question is, why are you coming to me about it? I'm the one who broke up your little sham."

    "This is what humans do, don't they?" Armand asks, letting his voice drop. "Crashing on their friends' couches when there's a blip in their romances?"

    "Except we're not friends. We're actually very much not friends." Daniel shrugs, as if it's all the same to him. "And I can't imagine the great vampire Armand deigning himself to sleep on my fucked-up sofa. That thing's been here since the nineties."

    "Well," Armand only says. "I saw you have a guest bedroom."

    Summary

    Daniel is half-drunk and, as he is most of the time, unpleasant. These are important facts. The other important facts are as follows: Daniel is three years away from sixty. Daniel’s second marriage officially ended seven months ago, though she moved out two years ago. The divorce took a long time because he was dragging his feet on signing the papers. He doesn’t know why he dragged his feet for a whole fourteen-and-a-half months. He told his wife and her lawyers and his lawyers it was because he was too bogged down in preparing this memoir to give a shit about some paperwork. He is so fucking tired of getting divorced. He’s decided, officially, that he’s not ever going to get married again, even if it means he doesn’t get laid for the rest of his life. If needs must, he’ll buy a fleshlight.

    Summary

    When Daniel returned from Dubai he bought himself a coffin. Out of some sense of poetry, or perhaps irony, it was the same coffin he’d chosen months before, intended for his funeral and now repurposed into his new (un)life. He set it up next to his bed and looked at it for a long moment, laughed at it a little for its gothic symbolism which was so out of place in his modern apartment, then attempted to sleep in the thing.

    ***

    Armand attempts to cure Daniel's claustrophobia (and maybe fix some other things as well)

    Summary

    I’ve lost my mind, Daniel thinks, still lavishing kisses to the chest of the creature that killed him. He says the next part out loud: “I fucking hate you. And you hate me. So something is making us do this.”

    “I don’t hate you,” Armand pants. “You mean nothing to me. Don't stop.”
