Only Andrew saw the strain in Neil’s mask. He crossed the room to stand in front of Neil, a silent demand in his stare. Neil wanted to answer that, but he didn’t know how. German was the obvious answer because it would afford them a little bit of privacy, but Romero and Jackson didn’t understand German. They wouldn’t know what he was saying and they would have to react like he was spilling every dark secret. Neil couldn’t allow that. He didn’t want to leave Andrew with nothing, but what could he possibly say? “Thank you,” he finally said. He couldn’t say he meant thanks for all of it: the keys, the trust, the honesty, and the kisses. Hopefully Andrew would figure it out eventually. “You were amazing.”

“The circus arrives without warning. No announcements precede it. It is simply there, when yesterday it was not. Within the black-and-white striped canvas tents is an utterly unique experience full of breathtaking amazements. It is called Le Cirque des Rêves, and it is only open at night.”

“I could recognize him by touch alone, by smell; I would know him blind, by the way his breaths came and his feet struck the earth. I would know him in death, at the end of the world.”

“We kissed as if we could stop the earth turning, as if we were enemies as well as lovers, as if we'd never see each other again.”

“I hate you,” Andrew said casually. He took a last long drag from his cigarette and flicked it off the roof. “You were supposed to be a side effect of the drugs.” “I’m not a hallucination,” Neil said, nonplussed. “You are a pipe dream,” Andrew said.”
