Summary
Damen's already unpleasant visit to Arles takes a sour turn when he and Laurent get into an argument.
“You’re unfair!” Laurent chokes out, wrapping his hands around Damen’s wrist, much like he did last night. “So what, just because I was –admittedly– a little cruel last night you decided to abandon me before the sun even rises? Do you want me to grovel at your feet? Beg for forgiveness?”
“I want no such thing,” Damen answers patiently. “You said yourself before we arrived here that our stay was going to last six months at most. We’re almost halfway done. Without me here to distract you, the time will fly and before you know it, we will reunite in our new palace.”
Laurent’s lower lip wobbles. “You’re willing to stay away from me for that long, then?”
Damen doesn’t hesitate to answer honestly. “If it will make you stop resenting me, yes.”
“Resent you?! I don’t–”
“You compared me to your uncle, Laurent.”

Summary
The line moves pretty quickly. There is no one behind them, so they might be the last people for today. When there is just one person left before them, Laurent looks at Santa more closely. He knows these brown eyes and he knows this smile. It’s Damen.
He is so shocked that he forgets how to breathe. Laurent’s expected to run into him at some point, but not like this. Not in the mall when Damen’s in this stupid costume, not on his first day here, and definitely not after that emotional turmoil at dinner. But it looks like he can’t get even a minute of rest in this town.

Summary
He swallowed. "I'm telling you you can do whatever you want with me, however you want it."
"So tonight's gonna be like that, huh,” Jesper murmured, his eyes knowing. "Tonight I get to decide what you need?"
Wylan's voice caught in his throat. Ghezen, he wanted that so much he was almost afraid to get it. He already felt so small and vulnerable that Jesper’s entire attention focused on him might be too much. He’d shatter. He’d dissolve. And maybe that's what he needed, to be taken apart piece by piece until he couldn't speak, couldn't think.

Summary
“Well, I can’t stand yours!” Wylan snaps, lying through his teeth.
The good thing of being roommates with your ex, Wylan thinks, is that he doesn’t have to tearfully hold onto Jesper’s sweatshirts and hope that the scent still remains. He can just go into the laundry room and sniff Jesper’s fabric softener like a completely well-adjusted, reasonable and mature adult.

or, Jesper and Wylan break up, still live together, miscommunicate and then communicate. And learn about some flowers.
