Summary
Interpersonal matters have never been his strong suit; there’s a brashness to himself that he can’t quite shake. He attributes it to the dog-eat-dog world of growing up the youngest of eleven. He’s struggled to get past the acquaintance stage with any of the men in his cohort and it should worry him, but in all truth, he likes his solitude. Having time and space of his own is still a novelty even four years post leaving his childhood home. The majority of his free time is spent reading and listening to the silence around him.

Goffredo makes a new friend and learns how to play chess, smoke a cigarette, and do a pull-up…among other things. -

Summary
Aldo Bellini and Goffredo Tedesco try to fix themselves and each other with mixed results.
Vincent Benítez didn't sign up for any of this but ends up doing a better job anyway.
Thomas Lawrence has been managing these idiots all his adult life (and people think running a conclave is a thankless job).- Words:

Summary
Goffredo Tedesco doesn't do graduate students, Americans, or flings with tourists. Aldo Bellini swore he wouldn't fall in love over a semester abroad. After a night out in Rome, suddenly everything is different.
Maybe one summer of shared cigarettes would be enough. Maybe it would have to be.

Summary
He startles out of his thoughts when Tedesco coughs. He is grinning, now, like he knows something Aldo doesn't. “No?” He takes a pointed drag. He must think blowing out plumes of flavoured smoke makes him look attractive. “I always thought he had very beautiful blue eyes, our Tommaso. A fine face—one might think he is a continental man. Do you think he's kept to his vows of celibacy?”
“I'm sure he has,” Aldo says neutrally. Thomas is not an easy man to tempt.
