"I was hoping you two would start talking dirty," Pez says. "Please, do go on." "I dont think you could keep up, Pez," Alex tells him. "Oh really?" The picture returns to Pez. "What if I put my co-" "Pez," comes the sound of Henrys voice, and a hand with a signet ring on the smallest finger covers Pezs mouth. "I beg of you. Alex, what part of nothing he cannot do did you think was worth testing? Honestly, you are going to get us all killed." "Thats the goal," Alex says happily. "So what are yall gonna do today?" Pez frees himself by licking Henrys palm and continues talking. "Frolic naked in the hills, frighten the sheep, return to the house for the usual: tea, biscuits, casting ourselves upon the Thighmaster of love to moan about Claremont-Diaz siblings, which has become tragically one-sided since Henry took up with you. It used to be all bottles of cognac and shared malaise and When will they notice us-" "Dont tell him that!" "-and now I just ask Henry, What is your secret? And he says, I insult Alex all the time and that seems to work." "I will turn this car around."

"Outside Kensington Palace, Alex takes Henrys phone out of his hand and swiftly opens a blank contact page before he can protest or sic a PPO on him for violating royal property. The car is waiting to take him back to the royals private airstrip. "Here," Alex says. "Thats my number. If were gonna keep this up, its going to get annoying to keep going through handlers. Just text me. Well figure it out." Henry stares at him, expression blankly bewildered, and Alex wonders how this guy has any friends. "Right," Henry says. "Thank you." "No booty calls," Alex tells him, and Henry chokes on a laugh."

"Alex clenches his jaw. Hes used to doing things that piss his mother off- in his teens, he had a penchant for confronting his mothers cilleagues with their voting discrepancies at friendly DC fundraisers- and hes been in the tabloids for things more embarrassing than this. But never in quite such a cataclysmically, internationally terrible way. "I dont have time to deal with this right now, so heres what were gonna do," Ellen says, pulling a folder out of her padfolio. Its filtered with some official-looking documents punctuated with different colors of sticky tabs, and the first one says: AGREEMENT OF TERMS. "Um," Alex says. "You," Ellen says, "are going to make nice with Henry." Youre leaving Saturday and spending Sunday in England." Alex blinks. "Is it too late to take the faking-my-death option?" "Zahra can brief you on the rest," Ellen goes on, ignoring him. "I have about five hundred meetings right now." She gets up and heads for the door, stopping to kiss her hand and press it to the top of her head. "Youre a dumbass. Love you."
