“Is there anything I can do?”
Cathal’s lips curved in a sweet smile Flavian didn’t think he had ever seen from him. “You’re already doing it.”
“I am?”
“You look so confused.” Cathal laughed a little, but it wasn’t an unkind sound. “You’re here. Earlier, when I told Philip and Amory about the questioning, I kept wishing I had someone there the way Philip has Amory. I kept thinking of you. And here you are.”
“I—oh.” He stared at Cathal, probably looking ridiculous in his surprise.
But Cathal’s smile held only affection. “You always have sharp words, and now you’re speechless?”
“I’m sure I could come up with a few choice ones if you’d like.” But he wasn’t certain of anything of the kind.

This week’s #FridayKiss theme is speechless, and I found this exchange between Cathal and Flavian in The Artist’s Masquerade.
