The Diabolist (Dominic Grey 3)
“Viktor returned to his absinthe, and Grey unwound with an Anchor Steam, feet propped on the marble-topped coffee table.
Grey again wondered about Viktor’s home, his family, his past. Since Grey preferred not to answer reciprocal questions, he avoided such topics, but the human need for connection was strong, and the lack of personal information between the two of them at times bordered on awkwardness. In their short time together they had discussed everything from philosophy to literature to wh...ere to get the best sushi in Tokyo, yet Grey didn’t know where Viktor had grown up, or if he had ever had a family.
As Viktor sank deeper into his emerald brew, Grey had the sudden urge to question him about his past, even if it meant answering questions himself.
“Viktor, have you ever been married?”

Grey wanted to inquire further, but instead he took a swig of beer.MoreLess
