“And what do you do on weekends?” “Oh, this and that.” A lot of lying around. A lot of cooking then, on Monday, foisting his latest creations on Fang and Frenchie, who always thanked him, but weren’t quite overflowing with praise. “Had a new recipe I wanted to try, actually.” Stede beamed. “Fab!

What he wanted most of all was to kiss Stede.
