Finally, the unforgivable words fell out of Jan’s mouth. “Mirry, you’re a coward.”

He slapped an open palm on the desk, sending papers flying. “Fuck, look me in the eye!”

That did it. Mirry stiffened and glared full into Jan’s face. He took a step closer, close enough for a kiss. “Rip the Veil, I’m not—” Jan arched a brow and he dried up.

“Not what?” said Jan silkily.

“Not going to argue anymore.” Mirry pulled in a breath, looking young and angry and confused all at once. With an odd sort of dignity, he said, “Goodbye, Jan.” He spun on his heel and stalked out the door.

Jan’s knees went out from under him and he had to sit, his hearts thundering. Over.

It was over. But he hadn’t truly believed it until he heard that Mirry had left the Aetherii mountains to go exploring.

And then he’d found him again. And lost him. And now Belladonna had given him back.

He thought again of the expression on Mirry’s face in the lantern light of the Winged Envoy’s garden. Shock, yes. He’d flushed scarlet, Mirry who was always so cool, so clever. Something had swum behind his golden eyes, something hot and shy and, fuck it, still confused.

Jan had moved toward him, his entire being focused on wrapping the other man in a huge hug, and the assassins had swarmed out of the shadows.

By all the gods, what did he have to lose?

Carefully, Jan exhaled. Nothing. Nothing at all. He wasn’t going to take a step back with Miriliel the Burnished, never again.

The door clicked and he turned his head to see the old woman, porridge bowl in hand, the two mutes looming behind her.
