Summary
After the end of his five year marriage, Joe finds himself depressed and unable to write or paint. It takes Andy bursting into his room and shoving a ticket for “Gay and Away”, a singles tour through Tuscany.
Joe doesn't mean to buy the 300 year old villa, but he's here and heartbroken, and maybe the house will help.
The guy helping him with the renovation, Nicolo, sure doesn't hurt.

Summary
"So this is what my boss meant when she said we must have so much in common," Joe says.
"Yeah, probably," Nicky sighs. "It's...I just remember back when I was in school and there was only one other boy in my year who'd come out—"
"—and everyone assumed that of course you must be into each other," Joe agrees ruefully. "Because you were the two gay kids."
The one where Nicky and Joe make a pact not to sleep together and fuck up the friendship. So, you know, that works out well.

Summary
Over the next few months, Joe runs into Nicky every so often at the farmer’s market. Some weekends Nicky doesn’t make it, because of his work schedule - Joe doesn’t understand it because he doesn’t ask, though he does start to recognize when one of those missing weekends is coming up because Nicky will stock up on things with longer shelf-life. When they do run into each other, they make small talk and move through the stalls together.
Joe doesn’t mention it to Lykon when he stops by, because it is kind of weird, that Lykon’s ex-boyfriend texts Joe things like - If you’re here, the apples look particularly good this week and thank you for that recipe, I did not know what I was going to do with that much couscous
Or,
Joe wouldn't usually consider starting anything with his best friend's ex, but as long as they keep it casual, it shouldn't be weird... right?

Summary
Yusuf tried to look soulful and romantic, like he was afflicted by destiny. Nicolo was a much better liar than he was, but in a typical fashion, he was nowhere to be seen now that Yusuf actually needed him.
“We have been lovers for many years,” Yusuf said, looking determinedly at Afan’s nose to keep himself from laughing. “We must face danger together.”
