John Silver, Thomas is learning, is a novice when it comes to love.
He’s been living with Thomas and James for three months, sharing their bed for two, and yet every time he sees the pair of them exchange a sweet kiss or even embrace he looks away, almost uncomfortable.
It’s on an ordinary, lazy Sunday morning that Thomas understands the other man’s behavior: James presses an absentminded kiss to Silver’s cheek in thanks for handing him a book, and Silver in response stops dead in his tracks, frozen where he’s bent over next to the settee.

And as Thomas watches Silver’s cheeks turn a fetching shade of red, everything makes sense.
