Chapter 3 Summary
At Hammer's words and the change in his tone, Martin realizes three things quite quickly: First, that Timothée has not told Hammer quite all of what transpired between them; second, that Hammer might also feel protective of Timmy, given that he has known him for longer than say, the 12 hours Martin spent with him; and third, Martin is in very real danger of getting hit in the face.
The chances of salvaging this encounter are rapidly dwindling to something near zero. But Martin is like a dog with a bone by now, a little scrappy mongrel dog, and he's not backing down. Something else will have to give.

Story Summary:
It's only been a few weeks since the night when Martin and Timothée found each other. Timothée was sad at the time, and lonely. Martin was, too, but he expects to be. It doesn't fit with Timothée at all, not to Martin's way of thinking. And yeah, what happened that night has made Martin feel quite protective of the luminous young man. Those feelings come bursting to the surface when Martin Freeman and Armie Hammer happen to cross paths at a random theater party in New York. Martin finds he has certain unresolved opinions about the man who was offered Timmy's heart and still let him be alone and unhappy far from home.
