“It reminded him of the first day he’d ever touched Magnus, drawn close to and kissed another man, someone even taller than he was, his body lean
and lithe and right against Alec’s. At the time, he’d thought he felt dizzy with relief and joy because he was finally touching someone he wanted to be touched by, when he’d thought he might never have that. Now he thought he’d felt that way because it was Magnus: that even then, he’d known. Now
the gesture spoke of all the days since the first.”

“Alec didn’t recognize the woman, but he recognized that tone of voice.
He knew how it was to lay claim to what you loved, a§ the more

wasn’t sure what to say, so he did one of his favorite things. He produced
his phone and found a rea§y good picture, walked up to the dais, and
showed it to them both.
“›is is my son, Max.”

“To Alec, love always
meant this: his shining city of eternal light. The land of lost dreams
reclaimed, his first kiss and his last.”

“You can address her when you’re talking about her,” said Alec, mildly.
Joaquín cast an anxious look at Alec, then an even more anxious look at
Lily. “Of course! I’m sorry. I don’t have much experience talking to—”
“Vampires?” asked Lily sweetly.
“Women,” said Joaquín.
“It’s true I’m five fabulous foot of pure woman,” Lily mused.”
