NICK TRIED TO PUSH himself up, but he didn’t have the strength. He was in some dark, damp place. And he couldn’t see very well, which was strange, because his night vision was excellent.

He was waiting for…Jeanette, he remembered. She was so sweet. And so smart, too. She had been educated in a convent, and the nuns had taught her well. But they had also guarded her like the precious jewel she was. In worldly ways she was utterly naive. He had been captivated with her at once.

He’d never been much interested in poetry, but she’d introduced him to the great poets. John Keats, Christopher Marlowe, George Herbert, Alexander Pope.

Shakespeare had become his favorite, and he’d memorized some of his sonnets to recite to her. He knew she’d be so pleased.

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? he’d say.

Thou art more lovely and more temperate.

He smiled dreamily, anticipating her pleasure and surprise. He should get up and wash and comb his hair before she arrived. He reached out, felt a wooden panel and tried to push himself up. But the panel caved in.

Bloody hell. He’d broken the damn bed.

Or something.
